Luton Town and Peterborough United are ready to show off their new players and skills: It's their first game of the Championship season.
Luton Town form and stats
Last season, Luton Town's league statistics were 17 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses, resulting in a 12th position in the Championship. Over these 46 matches they scored 41 goals and conceded 52. Playing at home last season Luton Town managed 8-9-6 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 23 conceded.
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 have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 17 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn six and lost four.
The manager N. Jones will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Stevenage in only three days.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Luton Town friendly games in pre-season: Luton Town played five friendlies, won 4, drew 1 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Luton Town scored 20 goals and conceded 2 in these five games.
Peterborough United form and stats
A job perfectly done for Peterborough last season as they secured promotion from League One. With a grand total of 26 wins, 9 draws and 11 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 11 were in away matches.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Peterborough in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Peterborough United, two draws and two defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Plymouth Argyle in just three days.
Peterborough United played seven friendlies in their break from official games, resulting in 3 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. In these seven matches Peterborough scored 17 and conceded 7 goals.
Head 2 Head
