Cardiff City hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 14 points and a 18th position in the Championship table. Visiting Luton Town holds 11th place with 19 pts.
- Cardiff City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Luton Town has the fewest matches over the total-line (2) in Championship
It's no vacation for neither Cardiff nor Luton Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cardiff City form and stats
Cardiff City's struggle is real here at Cardiff City Stadium with only 5 points collected from 6 Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3.
Cardiff lost their last game at Coventry City (placed 21st) after a 0-1 scoreline. 1-1 away at Millwall before that.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Cardiff's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Championship game versus Huddersfield Town in only three days. This game is also played here at Cardiff Stadium.
Cardiff City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Cardiff's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Luton Town form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Luton Town playing as the away team in the Championship this season. With three draws in a row for Luton Town the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
Luton's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Birmingham City that finished 1-1. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Blackburn Rovers.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Luton Town playing away, we found nine games. Results were three away wins, one draw and five home wins.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Norwich City in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Luton as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Luton Town as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last seven matches): Cardiff three wins, two draws and Luton Town two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
