With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Luton Town fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Coventry City.

Insights:
  • Luton Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Coventry City have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Luton have less rest than Coventry City in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Championship game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Swansea City, was also a home game here at Kenilworth Road. The away team is better rested.

Luton Town form and stats

Luton Town have collected 24 points from their Championship home games so far after 6-6-5.

Luton are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 206 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by R. Tunnicliffe).

The Luton Town crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Swansea City here at Kenilworth Road in a Championship match. Prior to that, an away loss at Norwich City.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Luton Town have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn five and lost four.

Luton are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Preston North End awaits in four days.

The Luton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 17 matches. On the other hand, Luton Town have conceded 20 goals.

Coventry City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Coventry City so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-10 (win-draw-lose).

The supporters enjoyed Coventry's previous game versus Derby County (placed 19th), a Championship 1-0 win played at home. A 1-2 loss hosting Middlesbrough before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Coventry in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Coventry City, six draws and five defeats.

A new game in only four days for Coventry City, the Championship home match versus Wycombe Wanderers. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Coventry City as they have only managed to score 13 times from 17 away games in the league. Coventry's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Coventry City - Luton 0-0 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): Luton Town won two games, three matches ended with a draw and Coventry City has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / four
