Luton Town Preview – Can Luton claw their way to safety?
After picking up a very solid point indeed away from home in Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw at Elland Road against the Championship league leaders, Leeds United, Luton Town have extended their unbeaten run in the second tier to an impressive six matches as The Hatters seek a way out of the bottom three in this upcoming clash against Reading.
Luton Town have become something of the ‘draw specialists’ in the Championship in recent times as the Bedford outfit have drawn four of these last six matches but this sequence also includes the hosts picking up wins against Brentford (2-1 at home) and a 1-0 win on the road at Swansea City.
Luton have also been boosted by the return of their former manager, Nathan Jones, who guided them to the Championship and has steered Luton to the win against Swansea and the valuable point at Leeds, while Luton are also unbeaten in their last four matches at home too.
Reading Preview – Can Reading avoid slipping back down?
Back-to-back wins in the Championship just before the lockdown was imposed saw Reading climb away from the relegation zone in the second tier after posting wins against Barnsley 2-0 at home and a resounding 3-1 win at St Andrews against Birmingham City.
However, a 1-1 draw at home with Championship strugglers, Stoke City, has been followed by back-to-back defeats against Derby County and Brentford, so The Royals will be keen to stop the bleeding at Kenilworth Road on Saturday as they look to at least avoid a third defeat on the trot.
With just three defeats out of their last 12 matches on their travels, Reading look to have a decent chance of avoiding another loss, while an away record of 6-7-7 24/20 has been boosted by the recent wins at Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City.
