THE PREDICTION
Winless in their last seven Championship fixtures, the honeymoon period is well and truly over for Wayne Rooney at Derby and the Rams have dropped to 19th-place and only five points above the relegation places. Three points here is imperative for Derby at home to Luton, however that will prove a difficult task with the Hatters having won their last two league matches as they bid to finish the season strongly. Luton will likely sit in and make it very difficult for Derby to break them down, as they soak up pressure with a view to hitting the hosts on the break. Similar to their most recent victory away at Preston, goals are expected to be at a premium as this one may be decided by a single strike. With that in mind, under 2.5 goals scored has to be favoured.
