Luton Town Preview
Luton Town is a team that has had incredible results in the Championship. It is currently in fourth place in the table after playing 28 games with 12 wins, 9 draws and 7 defeats composed by 36 goals for and 29 against. Thus, this team has 7 goals difference and 45 points.
Their last five matches in the EFL Championship have been quite positive, as they have accumulated four wins (0-3 vs Queens Park Rangers; 1-2 vs Huddersfield Town; 0-2 vs Wigan Athletic; 1-0 vs Cardiff City) and just one defeat (2-3 vs West Bromwich Albion). There is no doubt that this team is going all out for the Premier League.
In these five matchdays they scored 10 goals and conceded only 4. The players who scored in the games were Adebayo, Cornick, Morris, Bell, Burke and Doughty. For this new game, two of the players to keep an eye on will be Morris and Adebayo, who scored three goals.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Ethan Horvath; Reece Burke, Tom Lockyer, Amari’i Bell; Cody Drameh, Jordan Clark, Henri Lansbury, Alfie Doughty; Cauley Woodrow; Carlton Morris, Elijan Adebayo.
Stoke City preview
On the other side, Stoke City has played 28 times with a record of 9 wins, 6 draws and 13 losses. Additionally, they scored 33 goals and allowed 37, which means they are -4 in goal difference and have 33 points and thus occupy the 18th place in the standings.
To make matters worse, Stoke City’s last five Championship games have not been all good. Moreover, they have lost three (0-1 vs Burnley; 0-1 vs Preston North End; 3-1 vs Stoke City), drawn one (2-2 vs Rotherham) and won one(4-0 vs Reading). The results have been very mixed, but the team seems to be on the rise with the latest win.
In these last matches the Stoke City players who managed to score were Campbell, Powell, Smallbone, Brown and Gayle. They now have a tougher game than they did against Reading, but perhaps they will come into this game with a boost of confidence after their most recent win.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Jack Bonham; Ben Wilmot, Phil Jagielka, Morgan Fox; Dujon Sterling, Lewis Baker, Josh Laurent, Josh Tymon; Tyrese Campbell, Jacob Brown, Bersant Celina.
JefeBet Prediction
This will not be an easy game for Luton Town, as Stoke City come with a mentality to overcome and with an excellent last performance to back them up. Thus, there will be scoring opportunities, but the Championship match could end up with a tie.
Prediction: A 2-2 draw.
