Luton Town – Bristol City

In a matchup of two motivated teams, the home team will be closer to success

Luton Town were in the Premier League last year for the first time in three dozen seasons. Of the clubs relegated at the end of that season the Hatters struggled the longest to retain their place in the Premier League. Leaving the Premier League, Luton Town management failed to cope with the second transition to another division in two years. Already from the first rounds of the "hat-trick" showed unsatisfactory results, but it seemed that the talented team was about to come to their senses and at least take a position in the middle of the standings. However, with three rounds to go, Luton are in the "red" zone, with the possibility of leaving it at the expense of one victory, in case of a misfire of Derby County or Hull. Bristol City are playing in the Championship for the tenth year in a row, during this period they have never come close to the play-off zone. Now the team is in fifth position, above which it has never finished in the previous nine seasons. Under favourable circumstances in other meetings of the tour, the victory of the guests can guarantee them a place in the playoff zone. Bookmakers have identified the home team as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 2.54 on their victory. Luton Town have won two matches in a row once in the current Championships. It happened in September last year. Subsequently, the "hatters" began to appreciate even two matches in a row without defeats. Since the beginning of March, you can note the improvement of the game form of the hosts of the upcoming match. During this period, Luton Town took part in nine rounds of the championship, of which lost only to Burnley and Blackburn. It should be noted that in the last seven meetings of the Championship "hatters" have never conceded more than one goal. Luton's position obliges the players at all costs to gain points even against the fifth collective of the division. Bristol City's playing form can also be characterised as good. Over the last twelve rounds, the team lost only to Burnley, to whom it is not shameful to lose. It should be noted that Bristol City in the past seven rounds won all home games and never won away. Luton Town have won the last two head-to-head meetings with Bristol City at home and, at the very least, will not lose in the upcoming one.
