Luton Town hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 14 points and a 22nd position in the Championship table. Visiting Charlton Athletic holds 13th place with 23 pts.
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
With 2 Championship wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Luton Town are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Luton Town with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Bristol City game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Luton Town, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Luton Town's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Leeds United (placed 2nd). Prior to that, an away loss at Reading.
Luton Town's goalkeeper James Shea was extremely busy against Leeds United, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning 11 saves.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Luton Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Luton Town as they are travelling to their away game against Brentford in the Championship. That match is four days after this one.
A decent goal production from Luton Town in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Luton Town defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Charlton Athletic form and stats
Playing away, Charlton Athletic have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the Championship this season.
There were no winners in Charlton Athletic's previous match, a Championship home game that ended 2-2 vs Cardiff City (placed 16th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Millwall wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
It looked so good for Charlton Athletic vs Cardiff City, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. 6 saves made goalkeeper Dillon Phillips a hero against Cardiff City, contributing heavy to the point gained.
Charlton Athletic are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of eight matches.
A new game in only four days for Charlton Athletic, the Championship home match versus Sheffield Wednesday. Busy days.
