Betting on Luton Town
Luton Town is one of the toughest teams to beat in the Championship, having lost only a few games this season. They have also conceded one of the lowest goals in the league (35), making them a formidable opponent. However, they haven’t been able to win many games at home, having only won 7 out of the 19 matches played. Nonetheless, they are currently on a six-game unbeaten run, including two consecutive home victories.
Carlton Morris is the great revelation of this team. The striker, who was released from Barnsley at the beginning of the season, has become a striker to be feared and is in the top four scorers of the competition with 16 goals. What’s more, he forms a great duo with Elijah Adebayo, Luton’s other striker.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Ethan Horvath; Gabriel Osho, Lockyer and Amari’i Bell; Cody Drameh, Marvelous Nakamba, Alfie Doughty and Luke Berry; Allan Campbell; Carlton Morris and Elijah Adebayo.
Betting on Watford
Watford has been struggling in the Championship since their relegation from the Premier League last season and their last away win was on January 2 when they defeated Norwich City. Since then, they have lost three and drawn two games, so in order to secure a spot in the playoffs, they need to start racking up points.
The Senegalese player, Ismaïla Sarr, is one of their top scorers with nine goals (three of which were scored in the last 12 games). The Brazilian player, João Pedro (also with nine goals), has been struggling to score, having only scored one goal in the last nine games. However, Keinan Davis has been a great addition to the team, scoring three goals in the last two games.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Daniel Bachmann; Craig Cathcart, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt; Nkagia, Imran Louza, Leandro Bacuna, Ismael Kone, Ken Sema; João Pedro, Keinan Davis.

Luton Town has been in excellent form this season, but surprisingly, they have not been reliable when playing at home. Watford, on the other hand, are putting up a good fight despite their struggles.
