Luton Town form and stats
Three Championship home games done for Luton Town, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.
Happy days for Luton Town in their previous game, a fixture away at Cardiff City (placed 16th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Jones when Osho scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute. Midfielder Bree was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.75 (out of ten) in that game. Bree served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Sheffield United that ended 1-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Luton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.
The lack of attacking qualities in Luton Town means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Luton Town are not conceding a lot of goals here at Kenilworth Road Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
