Luton Town form and stats

A Championship draw at home so far for Luton Town. Last season their home statistics were 12 wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats from 23 matches.

The Luton Town fans got no joy from their last game, a Carabao Cup duel also played here at Kenilworth Road Stadium: A 2-3 defeat against Newport County. Defender Lansbury got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.62/10. Lansbury hit two key passes and won 3 of 3 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Burnley that finished 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Luton Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Luton Town as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Luton Town has won 6 of these, drawn 7 and lost 3.

Luton are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Bristol City awaits in three days.

At Kenilworth Road Stadium, Luton Town has the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Preston North End form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Championship away game of the season. During their previous season 23 away games resulted in 7 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats.

The attacking players of Preston North End have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 196 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Preston goalkeeper Freddie Woodman is eager to challenge this, with his 222 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Two trips in a row for Preston North End, whose boss Lowe could celebrate last time after the Carabao Cup win against Huddersfield Town. Midfield player McCann was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.31/10. McCann scored two goals, hit one key pass and had 19 successful passes (of 21 total).

A draw for Preston North End before that, at their own venue hosting Hull City (0-0).
