Sheffield United vs Luton Predictions

• Sheffield United conceded at least twice in five of their last six matches.
• Luton scored at least twice in four of their last five games.
• Luton boss Nathan Jones is unbeaten in eight straight games against managers named Paul (W3, D5).

Frustration for the Blades

While Sheffield United had hopes of an immediate return to the Premier League, that simply looks like it is slipping away from them, in spite of their four-game winning streak to round out 2021.

Still seeking their first victory of this calendar year, frustration boiled over when Sheffield United failed to hold a 2-0 lead against ten-man Preston last time out, highlighting the inefficiencies within their backline.

Solid Luton can keep it up

Luton Town are now unbeaten in all of their games since the beginning of December 2021, which includes three clean sheets therein.

Unlike their hosts, Luton’s backline have remained firm in the face of adversity, evidenced by their impressive current run of 305 minutes of away play without conceding a goal.

At the prices, it is hard to ignore Luton’s solidity, both overall and particularly away from home. As such, I am backing Luton in the double chance market at a value price.
