Luton Town form and stats

Luton Town have collected 32 points from their Championship home games so far after 9-5-3. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Luton, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Luton Town are returning here after visiting Coventry City and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Adebayo scored the goal(s). Lockyer was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.01 out of 10. The defender Lockyer won 10 of 12 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Middlesbrough.

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 15 games. Luton Town has won seven of these, drawn five and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Preston North End are coming to town in three days.

Luton Town have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Kenilworth Road Stadium with 27 goals in 17 league matches.

Queens Park Rangers form and stats

7-2-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Queens Park Rangers in their Championship matches away. Three consecutive losses in away matches means QPR are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Cardiff City with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Chair, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.42. Chair hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A 0-1 defeat away at Blackburn Rovers before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Queens Park Rangers in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Queens Park Rangers, one draw and seven defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the QPR manager Warburton as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Nottingham Forest.

Queens Park Rangers have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 23 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Queens Park Rangers's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these parties get together this season, as the results database show this recent fixture: Queens Park Rangers - Luton Town 2-0. Last ten meetings between these sides: Luton won two, Queens Park Rangers triumphed in six and we saw two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with less than 2,5 goals.
