Luton Town form and stats

Luton Town have collected 4 points from their Championship home games so far after 1-1-1. The last three games played by Luton, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Luton travelled for their previous game, a trip to Bristol City that ended 1-1. Henri Lansbury (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.05/10. Lansbury hit four key passes. Danny Hylton was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Bristol City after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Preceding that game was the away draw at Blackburn Rovers that finished 2-2.

Swansea City form and stats

Swansea City are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Championship, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

Swansea have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 251 minutes ago. J. Piroe was the goal scorer. 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. Swansea goalkeeper Ben Hamer is eager to challenge this, with his 218 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Swansea City's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Millwall that finished 0-0. Goalkeeper Ben Hamer got the top player rating of the team with 7.7/10. Hamer stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Hull City.

The schedule is very tough for Swansea City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Brighton & Hove Albion is waiting in only four days.
