Luton vs Sheffield Wednesday Match Preview

Luton remain bottom of the table following a 1-0 home loss to Cardiff at the weekend though defeat was a little harsh on the Bedfordshire outfit. For Town it was a second successive defeat and a ninth from their last 11 Championship fixtures.

At Kenilworth Road, the Hatters have lost three of their last five and picked up just four points from these five in front of their own fans. Each of the last nine visitors to this ground have managed to net on at least one occasion.

Sheffield Wednesday made it back-to-back draws at the weekend when their trip to Yorkshire rivals Barnsley ended 1-1. It means it is four without a Championship victory for Wednesday and just one in their last eight.

Away from Hillsborough, the Owls have won just one of their last four and this result came at Elland Road against Leeds. In each of their last ten road matches the Yorkshire outfit have found the back of the net on at least one occasion.

It is hard to trust Sheffield Wednesday to come out on top here despite the obvious gulf in class between the sides. Luton are a little stronger at home but you have to wonder if the players still believe they can stay up.

Given both sides lack of confidence backing under 2.5 goals looks the way to go and this also supported by a head-to-head record that shows just two scored in the last three combined meetings between the side. It was a 1-0 loss at home to Cardiff this weekend for Luton and the expected goals data showed a game low on chances and it could be the same here so take a small interest on under 1.5 also.
