Luton Town Preview – Hatters to stop a run of three league and cup defeats?
Luton Town were tipped by many for a season of struggle before a ball was kicked. However, the Hatters have kept themselves in and around mid-table pretty much the entire campaign. Luton are well clear of the bottom three.
Town could do with a win, though, having lost each of their last three league and cup games. They lost 3-1 in the Emirates FA Cup to Chelsea and suffered 1-0 league defeats to both Brentford and Blackburn Rovers. However, they have been tough to beat at home this season, losing just once at Kenilworth Road since October.
After back-to-back league losses away from home, Luton will want to get back to winning ways on their own patch on Saturday, especially having lost to Queens Park Rangers in their previous home outing. You can get the hosts to win this one at 6/5.
Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers claim a rare away win?
Since leaving Leeds United’s U23 side to take over at Huddersfield Town, Carlos Corberan has had a mixed time at the John Smith’s Stadium. So far, the Terriers have won nine, drawn five and lost 13 of their 27 league fixtures. Only bottom club Wycombe Wanderers have suffered more Championship defeats.
Town head to Luton in pretty atrocious form. They have not won since beating Blackburn at the John Smith’s on December 29th, losing five of their following six in all competitions. However, after five successive defeats, they did manage to stop the rot by holding Stoke City to a draw last Saturday.
