Luton have been in fairly modest form in the league of late but they will be boosted by their progress in the FA Cup and the Checkatrade Trophy in the last few days. Despite having the best defensive record in League Two they have only managed to keep a clean sheet in 11% of their home league games this season, but Hatters fans will also be confident in the fact that Luton are yet to fail to score at home this campaign.

Visiting Kenilworth Road is a Carlisle side who have had almost the opposite week to their hosts. They were dumped out of the FA Cup after a 2-0 defeat to Rochdale and then they also dropped out of the Checkatrade Trophy after an enthralling 3-2 defeat to Mansfield on Tuesday night.

In spite of what the graphic at the top of this page might suggest, the Cumbrians have actually been in excellent form in the league and they have the best points return in the division over the previous eight league games.

We can also take confidence when we look at how many games of both sides end with both teams scoring, as a massive 89% of Luton’s home games end up as this way and 67% of Carlisle’s away fixtures do also. Carlisle have also not managed to keep a clean sheet in their previous seven league games.
