Swansea City Preview – Will the Swans respond with a home win?
Swansea City have had an indifferent start, winning one, losing one and drawing two of their opening four games. Their only win came on the road against Blackpool, and they have taken just one point from a possible six at home.
Swansea were well on their way to a big three points against Millwall at the Swansea.com Stadium last Tuesday. However, injury-time own goals from Ben Cabango and Nathan Wood rescued the unlikeliest of points for the Lions.
Swansea must dust themselves down and go again. The Welsh club have taken four points from their last two, and Russell Martin’s men will fancy their chances on home soil this Saturday. The hosts are the bookies’ favourites at 29/20.
Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters secure first win?
Luton Town defied the odds and reached the play-offs last season. They were tipped for relegation before a ball was kicked, but the Hatters racked up an outstanding 75 points to finish in sixth place.
Luton will be gunning for another top-six finish, but they have made a slow start to their 2022-23 Championship campaign. Town are one of just five clubs yet to taste victory this term. Nathan Jones’ boys are down in 23rd with a mere two points to their name.
