Luton vs Derby
England – Championship
Date: Saturday, 26 February 2022
Kick-off at 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CET
Venue: Kenilworth Road.
It’s admirable that Derby have climbed to the 22nd spot after the league deducted 21 points from them. But. as of now, they need a surplus of nine points to climb out of the relegation zone, and with just 13 match-days remaining, pressure is mounting on them.
And problems will only get more complicated, when this is coupled with their leaky defense.
This is a great opportunity for the in-form Luton to deliver a win this weekend. They are at home, and have built quite some momentum with their recent performances.
They have been finding the back of the net at a great rate, and they also have a positive h2h record at this stadium in recent seasons.
Judging these factors, expect a win for Luton this Saturday at their home.
