Derby County hosts Luton Town in round 39 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, April 2nd at Pride Park (Derby)
In many ways, Derby County was forced to embark on an experiment with the provision of Wayne Rooney with managerial powers, as Philip Koku showed extremely bad results. Or maybe the bosses relied on the positive experience of another star in the recent past. We mean Frank Lampard, who almost returned the team to the Premier League. And after Shrek replaced the Dutchman, the pace picked up. But now it seems that the effect of changing the coach has disappeared, and the Englishman, with all his experience in football, lacks the skills of a coach - he cannot turn the tide. Derby that won six out of eight matches in January-February cannot win in seven rounds in a row. Moreover, the Rams lost four matches and gained only two draws in the spring. Will a pause help them come to their senses?

Luton Town is remembered for its peak in the 1980s and early 1990s. Then the Hatters even managed to win the League Cup. However, quite recently they fell to an almost semi-professional level. But under the management of Nathan Jones, Luton Town managed to gain a foothold in the Championship. And if there was a struggle for survival in the previous season (the Hatters finished in 19th place), now the team feels confident in the middle of the standings. It looked great in recent matches – it dealt at home with Coventry and minimally beat Preston. In total, the Hatters managed to gain four victories in the last six rounds. But they can be hindered by the pause associated with the matches of the national teams - it was quite possible to lose the drive during these almost 2 weeks. Moreover, Luton has already scored 50 points and may relax.
Having met in the previous season after a long hiatus, the clubs exchanged home victories. At the start of the new championship, Luton continued the trend and gained a home win with a score of 2-1. Luton would have probably won the match in March, as the shape of the clubs was too different. But Derby should set up after this break. Let's risk betting on motivated hosts.
Prediction for the match: Derby to win
