Football pundit Don Goodman has stated that Luton Town will edge a much anticipated Championship match against Derby County on Friday night. Even though Luton began the season poorly, Goodman is confident that the Hatters’ superior performances at home will help them clinch an important victory.
Luton have been poor travellers of late, being defeated in their last six away fixtures while they have been much better on their own turf. Luton have only been beaten once in the nine games played at Kenilworth Road and Goodman believes this is the perfect platform they need in order to defeat Derby.
‘If this game was at Pride Park, then it would be a different kettle of fish’, said Goodman. ‘At home the Rams have been great all season but their form on the road has been a little dodgy.’ They have only won one away game this season and therefore I thought Luton would have the edge on Friday night.
The match is considered very important for the two clubs, since Luton is struggling in the low region of the standings on the relegation line whereas Derby achieved a positive result in the match against Portsmouth. A defeat for Luton may not bode well for manager Rob Edwards, under growing pressure to improve the fortunes of the club.
This Friday’s match is schedule for 8PM at Kenilworth Road and Goodman’s prediction made for the match really creates the environment that fans will be seeing two teams fully expecting to get the much needed victory.
