Luton vs Cardiff Predictions

• Luton failed to score in their last 298 minutes of league action.
• Cardiff won without reply in each of the last three H2Hs.
• Cardiff recently followed up a ten-game winless run by winning two of their last three games.

Lacklustre Luton to struggle again

It has been a tough few weeks for Luton Town, who have failed to score in four of their last five league games, including each of their last three. However, they may feel more confident coming up against a side placed below them in the table, but their mere 38% win-rate as pre-match favourites casts doubt on their chances of a revival (W3, D3, L2 as Championship favourites).

While the raw five-game form reads something like an obituary for Luton’s play-off ambitions, they have at least been able to rely on a strong home record. Notably, the Hatters are unbeaten in six of their last seven home league games, which is why it could be a value selection including the draw in the main selection here.

Resurgent Cardiff to bounce back from defeat

Although the visitors lost to Hull last time out, the Tigers are a side on an upwards trajectory and Cardiff won back-to-back league games for the first time this season prior to that midweek loss.

The Bluebirds will hope they can take flight away from the relegation zone with victory here, one which would extend their unbeaten record in away H2Hs in the EFL Championship era to five (W2, D2).

Given the hosts’ inability to score and the visitors’ consistently lacklustre away performances, we are going with a tight 1-0 win for the correct score prediction. However, this could very possibly end in a bore draw between two sides struggling for consistent performances.
