Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters extend unbeaten run?
After almost a month with no action, Luton Town marked their return with a thumping FA Cup win over Harrogate Town last weekend. Elijah Adebayo, Cameron Jerome, Kai Naismith and Luke Berry netted in the 4-0 home success.
Before their break, Luton had held high-flying Fulham to a 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road in the league on 11th December. The week before, the Hatters won 3-0 at Blackpool. Luton have games in hand on the teams around them, but Town languish in 16th with 29 points to their name.
Luton have struggled in their own patch in the Championship lately, taking just one point from the last nine on offer. Nevertheless, can they upset the leaders at Kenilworth Road this weekend?
Bournemouth Preview – Cherries to take the points in Bedfordshire?
Scott Parker’s Bournemouth have responded expertly well from their slump in form, which saw them pick up just one win from eight. After back-to-back league wins over Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City to close out 2021, the Cherries started 2022 with a comfortable FA Cup win at Yeovil Town on Saturday.
Bournemouth are top of the Championship table after 20 games played. Parker’s side have won 14, drawn seven and lost just four. They have one of the meanest defences in the division, shipping only 20 goals.
