Luton vs Leeds Predictions

• Luton have lost their last four matches.
• The Hatters have scored in 86% of their home Championship games.
• Leeds have scored in 81% of their league games so far.
• The hosts have lost 10 of their last 16 league games.

Luton’s Losing Run

Leeds have been passing up the chance to close in on the top two and take control of the promotion race. They have been poor on the road of late, handing the initiative to their rivals in the Premier League chase. However, can the visitors sort out their problems away from home when they make this visit to Luton on Saturday?

This clash pits the third-placed side away to the team who are a place outside the bottom three. Luton are struggling for results following a four-game losing streak, while a speedy return to League One looks likely given their tough position in the table just as some of the strugglers start to get their act together. That’s put the pressure on the Hatters going into this clash.

Away Improvement Needed

Leeds have managed to recover with recent wins over QPR and Blackburn, but their away form needs to return to the previous heights for them to claim promotion. Leeds are winless in four away league games (W0 D2 L2) since winning their first four away league games of the season – their current winless away run is their longest since going 11 without a win between December 2017 and April 2018.

Their current run isn’t likely to last that long, with the visitors favourites for the points in this one. On top of that, Luton’s four-game losing run points to a change. Leeds kicked off their campaign in red hot away form, so they are capable of fixing things.

Another Luton Thriller

Leeds recent trouble on the road has seen them fail to win in four, conceding in three of those games. Now they head to Luton, a side who have scored in 86% of their home games this term. The hosts have found the net in four of their last five in the Championship, they’ve just struggled for clean sheets and that has cost them results.

Luton have seen both teams score in 71% of their games here, while Leeds scoring in 81% of their Championship matches overall. The hosts have conceded at least twice in their last four, while Leeds have scored 12 times in eight away trips. We expect plenty of chances here, with both teams to score our main pick for Saturday’s clash.

We’re also backing the visitors to beat Luton, who have lost 10 of 16 Championship games this term. Meanwhile, Leeds have won their last two going into this trip. Leeds have also edged three of their last four meetings with Luton, winning each of those by a single goal. Given that form, we’re backing a 2-1 away win as our correct score pick.
