An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 23rd and the visitors in 20th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Stoke City form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Championship this season. Stoke City have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at bet365 Stadium. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Stoke City to get some points in this home game.
The fans are hoping that Stoke City will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Championship game against Hull City (placed 12th). Preceding that match was the home game against Blackburn Rovers that was lost 1-2.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Championship game versus Reading in only four days. This game is also played here at bet365 Stadium.
Stoke City has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Stoke City defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Luton Town form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Luton Town, who have the most conceded goals (25) away in Championship, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-8 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Luton Town in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Blackburn Rovers.
The supporters enjoyed Luton Town's previous game versus Wigan Athletic (placed 22nd), a Championship 2-1 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Brentford wasn't a success with a 0-7 loss.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Preston North End.
Luton Town have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Luton Town's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 25 goals in 10 travels.
