Luton Town form and stats

8-8-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Luton Town so far this season. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Luton Town, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

The Luton goalkeeper Ethan Horvath is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 184 minutes without conceding a goal in the Championship.

Luton Town drew their last game, 0-0 away at Millwall (placed 5th). Horvath, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.65 out of 10 in that game. Horvath topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Watford.

Not much happening? Looking at this team's last 14 league games, 13 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).

Luton Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 26 goals in 20 games. From these home matches, Luton have conceded only 19 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Blackpool form and stats

There's been little loot from Blackpool's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 20 away games in the Championship. Blackpool only have 3 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 5 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Blackpool have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Blackpool might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Cardiff City proved too strong as Blackpool slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Bloomfield Road. Carey got a match rating of 6.8 in that game, top player of the team. Carey hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Preston North End's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Blackpool as they have only managed to score 17 times from 20 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Blackpool struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 35 goals conceded from these games. Blackpool has visited these top teams six times, and 5 of 6 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Luton Town have managed a sequence of 6 consecutive matches without defeat (2-4-0) when playing Blackpool.

This isn't the first time these two teams meet on the pitch this campaign, as the statistics show this recent match: Blackpool - Luton 0-1.
