Luton Town form and stats

4-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Luton Town so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Luton bring valid hopes of a third.

No payout for Luton in their previous match, an away game at Middlesbrough that ended in defeat 0-1. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Preston North End.

The penalty miss from James Collins in the defeat against Middlesbrough was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Luton has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 10 goals have been conceded.

The travelling fans enjoy Bournemouth's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 9 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
