Luton Town preview – Can Luton secure Championship status for one more year?
Luton enter this game with everything on the line. In order to stay in the Championship as they currently sit in 22nd place. They must win and hope Charlton lose.
With this close to the finish of the season. All the teams from Middlesborough in 19th are at risk of facing relegation. Should Luton fail to win, it is almost certain that they will be plying their trade in League one next season.
Unbeaten in their last four, with 2 wins and 2 draws is the sort of form and confidence needed to help them towards a positive result in this upcoming fixture.
The damning concern for Luton is their ability to keep the ball out of their net. Conceding 80 goals in 45 matches this season. Luton is the unfortunate holders of the league’s second-worst backline only beaten by Hull City (84).
The hatters have managed to keep 2 clean sheets in their last 4 and only conceded 2 in their other matches. Meaning that when it mattered they have been able to shut teams down. They will look to use this improved organization at the back to ensure success Wednesday evening.
Blackburn preview – Can the rovers finish the season on a high note?
The Rovers don’t have much to play for in this fixture as they are too far off the playoff places and aren’t in any danger of relegation.
However, they will want to end the season with a win after a string of inconsistent results during the season.

Conceding 1.34 goals a game and averaging 1.42 goals scored meaning they rely heavily on their attack to outscore the opposition in order to take home a positive result.
