Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters pick up a rare home win?
Luton Town had a good first half to their season, spending most of the time in and around mid-table. The Hatters were one of the bookies’ favourites for relegation before a ball was kicked this term, but Town have proved their doubters wrong so far.
However, Nathan Jones’ men must be careful as a few defeats has seen them slip down to 17th. Town are nine points above Rotherham United, who currently occupy the final relegation place.
Luton have lost four of their last seven in league action, failing to win at home since December. However, after back-to-back defeats, they did manage a 1-1 home draw with Millwall last time out, though the Lions’ equaliser did come in injury time.
Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Owls to avoid a fourth straight reverse?
Since taking over from the sacked Tony Pulis, caretaker boss Neil Thompson has done a fine job at Hillsborough. However, the wins have dried up lately, with Wednesday losing three in a row and four of their last five.
In midweek, the Owls crashed to a 3-0 defeat to high-flying Brentford at the Brentford Community Stadium. The loss in London has left them in 23rd place on just 28 points. It has been a disastrous season for the Owls, who have yet to recover from the points deduction.
