Struggling Luton Town will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Brentford in the upcoming league round. It’s 24th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Luton Town form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Luton Town, who have the most conceded goals (69) in Championship, have to build on here at Kenilworth Road Stadium in the Championship.

Luton Town are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Charlton Athletic. In the game before, an away victory match versus Middlesbrough with a 1-0 scoreline.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Luton Town as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Stoke City are visiting.

Brentford form and stats

7 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Brentford, who have the the best goal difference (+27) in Championship, playing as the away team in the Championship this season. With three draws in a row for Brentford the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Brentford's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Blackburn Rovers that finished 2-2. A 1-1 draw at Birmingham City's stadium before that.

A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Blackburn Rovers. Brentford were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 2-2, with Saïd Benrahma scoring the equalizer.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brentford manager T. Frank as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Cardiff City.

Brentford have scored 25 goals on their travels this season, from 17 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Brentford as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Brentford - Luton Town 7-0. Luton Town-Brentford H2H statistics last seven meetings regardless of arena: Luton Town two wins, Brentford three wins, two draws. three of these seven matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
