Luton vs Preston Predictions

• Preston’s last three midweek Championship matches all ended 0-0.
• All of the visitors’ previous seven away league games have witnessed fewer than three goals.
• 11 of Luton Town’s 16 victories this season have come ‘to nil’.

Luton have hit a stumbling block

The hosts’ playoff ambitions hit a bump last time out as they lost on home soil to QPR last time out. That result combined with scorelines elsewhere meant that the ‘Hatters’ dropped out of the top six, however, they’ll be keen to bounce back. To do so they probably need to take the lead as they’ve managed to secure just seven points when trailing this campaign. They’ll feel confident of claiming victory here given that they’re unbeaten in four straight home league head-to-heads with Preston.

Preston North End arrive here in good spirits and are currently on a four-match unbeaten run in the Championship, although three of those have been draws. But nevertheless, with them being difficult to beat, the visitors will hope for a late push for a top-six spot but having played more games than any other midtable side, a playoff place might be a step too far. Their focus could be on pushing up the table next season under Ryan Lowe. The Preston boss has seen his side lose just twice across his first 16 games in charge.

Tense matchup predicted

There is quite a bit on the line for the hosts here and we’re expecting them to throw everything at Preston, but they may struggle to find a way through and with that, we don’t see too many goals being scored here and are plumping for under 2.5 goals. A 1-0 home win could be possible.
