Luton Town

WLLDWD ⚖

Luton Town prepare for this match coming off the back of a 1-1 League One stalemate vs Port Vale.

The only player to score from Luton Town was Nahki Wells (5'). Ben Waine (29') was the scorer for Port Vale.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Luton Town have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Luton Town have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 7 goals along the way.

Northampton Town

WDLLLD

In the game prior to this, Northampton Town drew 1-1 in the League One tie with Peterborough United.

The only name on the scoresheet from Northampton Town was Tom Eaves (44'). Jimmy-Jay Morgan (52') was the scorer for Peterborough United.

It is worth noting that Northampton Town have made hard work of scoring goals in their past six games, netting the disappointing return of only 4. In those matches, The Cobblers have also seen the collective goal tally of their opponents equal 9. That pattern might not be continued into this game, though.

🗞️ Team News: Luton Town

Tom Holmes (Collateral ligament tear) and Shandon Baptiste (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Luton Town gaffer Jack Wilshere.

We think that The Hatters look set to use a 3-4-2-1 formation for this game, utilising Amir Saipi, A. Papadopoulos, Damian Kelvin, Carbone, Mattia Zanotti, Anto Grgic, Uran Bislimi, Yanis Cimignani, Renato Steffen, Daniel Dos Santos and Kevin Behrens.

📋 Team News: Northampton Town

We believe The Cobblers might utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Anthony Racioppi, Numa Lavanchy, Kreshnik Hajrizi, Jan Kronig, Nias Hefti, Ali Kabacalman, Baltazar, Liam Chipperfield, Theo Berdayes, Ilyas Chouaref and Rilind Nivokazi.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment is that Luton Town will, in all likelihood, convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

However, Northampton Town may well find it hard to get a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be being dangerous for periods.

Our selection here is for a 3-1 victory for Luton Town at the end of this one.
