A nice win for Coventry last time playing, versus Rotherham United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Leo Østigård, Tyler Walker and Maxime Biamou scoring for the victors. Preceding that game was the away draw at Derby County that finished 1-1.

Luton Town form and stats

3-1-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Luton Town in their Championship matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Luton have lost on their last two travels.

There might be some fixture complaints from Luton as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Championship match against Swansea City (0-2). That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Norwich City.
