Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)
Venue: Kenilworth Road Stadium (10226 seats)

Season ticket holders at Kenilworth Road Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Luton Town languishing in the 23rd position so far. The guesting Queens Park Rangers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Luton and Queens Park Rangers.

Relegation threatens Luton who should definitely be looking for some points here. Queens Park Rangers are struggling to avoid relegation.

Luton Town form and stats

The story so far in the Championship for Luton Town, who have the most conceded goals (79) in Championship, at their home stadium (Kenilworth Road Stadium) is 7 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats.

A strong away win for Luton Town against Huddersfield Town the last match, as Sonny Bradley and Elliott Lee were on target. In the match before that, Luton hosted Barnsley and drew the game 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 as a small favourite), we find ten games. Luton Town has won three of these, drawn three 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 Hull City in only four days.

Luton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 29 goals in 21 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 34 goals have been conceded.

Queens Park Rangers form and stats

Queens Park Rangers have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 238 minutes ago. J. Hugill was the goal scorer.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Sheffield Wednesday with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Wigan Athletic's place.

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