On Wednesday night, struggling Luton Town host Sheffield Wednesday at Kenilworth Road, as the Hatters look for a win to boost any remote chance of surviving the drop from the Championship.
The home side currently find themselves bottom of the pile in England’s second tier. Graeme Jones’ team look set for a return to League One, as they are nine points from safety.
A 1-0 home defeat by Cardiff City last time out means that the home side have now suffered defeat in four of their last five league outings. The fact that Town has won just one of their last 11 Championship matches, suffering nine defeats in the process, has not helped their cause.
Luton have even struggled to make home advantage count of late in the Championship, having won just once in their last five league matches on home soil. Luton keeping just one clean sheet in their 15 home matches in the Championship this season has proven to be a big factor in that poor home record.
Sheffield Wednesday have had a mixed Championship campaign. The Owls are just six points off the play-off spots but have endured a recent dip in form in the English second tier.
Two straight draws against Millwall and Barnsley mean that the visitors have now failed to win in four Championship outings. However, the team from Yorkshire will see this game as the ideal chance to revive their bid for a play-off spot.
Wednesday’s recent away record in the second tier is an inconsistent one. However, they have won just three of their last 11 matches on their travels in the second tier, including winning just one of their last four away games in the Championship.
Forebet predicts that Sheffield Wednesday will keep alive their hopes of securing a play-off place by recording a victory in a low scoring encounter.
