Derby County Preview – Can Derby end slump?
A disappointing 1-0 defeat away from home at Stoke City saw Derby County head into the international break on a low note and indeed, the hosts have now failed to win any of their last seven matches in the Championship which has resulted in Derby slipping down into 19th place in the second tier.
Although they still hold a valuable five-point cushion over third from bottom outfit, Rotherham United, Derby’s cause hasn’t been helped by four defeats within this seven-match sequence with losses incurred against Cardiff City, Coventry City, Millwall and Stoke City.
The goals have also dried up for The Rams with five of these seven matches also resulting in under 2.5 goals while a home record of 5-6-8 14/20 includes 16 of Derby’s 19 home matches resulting in under 2.5 goals also.
Luton Town Preview – Can Hatters make it a hat-trick?
Luton Town registered back-to-back wins in the Championship before the international break with victories recorded against Coventry City and Preston NE and The Hatters will no doubt be seeking a third league win on the trot against a tentative looking Derby County outfit on Good Friday.
The visitors have won four out of their last six matches which includes earlier wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest and although they suffered unsurprising back-to-back defeats to high-flying Norwich City and Swansea City, the visitors still occupy the relative safety of a mid-table position in the Championship.
Overall, it’s been a much more successful campaign for Luton Town and indeed manager, Nathan Jones, but there’s still improvement needed on the road where Luton possess a record of 7-2-10 9/21; while 15 of Luton’s 19 away matches have also seen less than three goals.
