Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect John Coleman and Matt Gray to batten down the hatches here, but we certainly don't expect to see a flood of goals as Derby and Luton go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.50 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we recommend.

Goal Statistics

Luton Town's defensive record is to be admired, Matt Gray's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Championship outings. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Derby County makes sense in this context.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Luton Town fans, as should a 5 Championship games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
