Charlton v Luton Preview & Tips

Charlton host Luton on Saturday afternoon at The Valley in a bottom of the table clash where both sides are looking for points in an attempt to remain a Championship club next season. Read the Charlton v Luton match preview and predictions below.

Charlton currently sit 19th in the Championship and just 5 points above the relegation zone. Two recent victories at home to Barnsley and away to Nottingham Forest have helped Lee Bowyer’s side gain a bit of distance from the bottom three but they are far from out of danger yet and with Saturday’s visitors below them in the table, this is one of the biggest games for them so far this season.

Luton have managed back-to-back wins for the first time this season after successive 1-0 victories at home to Sheffield Wednesday and away to Middlesbrough. Thos wins have lifted the Hatters off the bottom of the table and will give them some hope of saving their season. Graeme Jones’ side are still 4 points from safety and so will need to have a repeat of their last two games if they want to climb out of the bottom three any time soon.

Charlton v Luton Prediction

Luton will take their two impressive 1-0 wins into this match and will no doubt show some fighting spirit. Their main problem this term has been conceding goals of which they have done so more than any other team in the Championship so far. If they can keep their back line tight as they have done in their last two matches, they may have a chance of getting something from this game. However, Charlton have picked up points at home and have managed to find the net two or more times in four of their last seven at The Valley. It’s a tough match to call but we’re backing a narrow home win with both sides managing to find the net.
