Our prediction for this Championship match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over WBA and Stoke, Luton Town will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Derby County on Saturday afternoon. The Hatters are only two points behind the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach this time out. Experienced attacker Cameron Jerome is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the midweek triumph, while all Sonny Bradley, Jordan Clark, and Luke Berry are out of contention with injuries.
The Rams, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Hull City and Peterborough, while losing to the likes of Middlesbrough and Millwall. Derby County are eager to keep their survival hopes alive, but given Luton’s fine form, we predict that Wayne Rooney’s men are going to return home empty-handed. Midfielder Kamil Jozwiak should be the only absentee in the away team.

Highlighted Team (Derby):
Derby County is one of the 12 founder members of the Football League. However, nowadays the Rams compete in the Championship and they play their home matches at Pride Park Stadium. Derby County have won the two trophies in the English top flight (1971/1972, 1974/1975), with the team lifting the FA Cup trophy just after the World War II (1946).
Derby’s main rivals are Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Leeds United, but the rivalry between Forest and Derby is regarded as the biggest one.
The two teams take on each other in the East Midlands derby. The colour of Derby’s shirts is white, whilst their shorts are black. It has to be noted that the club was founded in 1884 by William Morley. The Rams competed in the European competitions four times, but they did not record a notable result in the European Cups. The club’s chairman is Mel Morris.
