After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Millwall and Luton Town in this fresh Championship season. Read our match preview!
It's no vacation for neither Millwall nor Luton Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Millwall form and stats
Millwall have less points than they have played home games in the Championship so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Millwall are returning here after visiting Wycombe Wanderers in a Championship game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Ryan Leonard and Jed Wallace scored the goal(s). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Swansea City (1-2).
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 Millwall have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn four and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Barnsley are coming to town in four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Millwall's 2 home games: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Luton Town form and stats
Luton Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Championship, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
The manager N. Jones was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Kenilworth Road Stadium. Luton suffered a 0-2 loss to Stoke City (placed 8th). That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Wycombe Wanderers.
Luton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and five defeats. From a total of six matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Luton manager N. Jones as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sheffield Wednesday.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Luton Town has managed 1 goal and let in 1 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Last eight meetings between the teams: Millwall won four, Luton Town won one and three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
