Luton Town and Stoke City lock horns in a crucial game at the wrong end of the EFL Championship table on Saturday afternoon.

Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters secure a fourth win in five home league games?

After a 3-1 loss at Nottingham Forest on January 19th, which was a fifth successive league and cup defeat, Luton Town looked doomed. However, the Hatters have had a real go in recent weeks, winning four of the following seven.

In midweek, Luton picked up a stunning 2-1 win over promotion hopefuls Brentford at Kenilworth Road. The Hatters were 2-0 up at the break, with Ollie Watkins’ late goal being no more than a consolation strike for the Bees.

Our betting prediction:
0-0 at half time
7/4

(odds taken 1210 GMT, Friday 28 February)

 
Graeme Jones’ men have won three of their last four on their own patch, seeing off Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday before last week’s win over Brentford. 24 of their 33 Championship points have come on home turf.

Luton, who won EFL League One last term, will be desperate to avoid an instant return to the third tier. Ahead of this round of fixtures, Town are four points adrift of safety at the foot of the table. Victory on Saturday would put them just two points behind Stoke.

Stoke City Preview – Will the Potters leave Luton with a positive result?

Stoke City have certainly improved under new boss Michael O’Neill. However, the Potters are still well and truly embroiled in a relegation battle in the Championship, as they hover just a point above the bottom three. It’s been a dreadful season for Stoke, who have lost a staggering 19 of their 35 league fixtures.

After back-to-back losses to Preston North End and Queens Park Rangers, Stoke have hit back by taking four points from their last two. After a 2-0 home win over Cardiff City last weekend, City held in-form Blackburn Rovers to a 0-0 draw at Ewood Park in midweek.

Stoke have not won many away from home, but their last away victory came at the home of the Championship leaders last month, with Tyrese Campbell’s early goal giving them a 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns. With the pressure on, can O’Neill’s troops get a positive result at Kenilworth Road on Saturday?
