Luton v Sheffield Wednesday Tips

Luton host AC Milan on Wednesday evening at Kenilworth Road with the home side desperate for points to edge them closer to safety and the visitors hoping to regain some form after dropping points to two lower-placed sides in recent weeks. Read the Luton v Sheffield Wednesday match preview and predictions below.

Luton Town come into this match rock bottom of the Championship table having lost more games this term than any other club in the top 4 leagues. Graeme Jones’s side have now picked up just one win in their last 12 matches and have lost 10 of them. Their last outing resulted in a 1-0 defeat at home to Cardiff despite The Hatters having more possession and all but equaling their rivals statistically. With 15 games to play in the league this term, Luton need points desperately and quickly, to claw them out of the relegation zone of which they are currently nine points deep in.

Up until a few weeks ago, Sheffield Wednesday were looking set to settle themselves in a playoff spot but a 2-1 defeat to Wigan and draws against Millwall and Barnsley have pushed them down to 11th in the league and six points adrift of sixth-placed Cardiff. If Gary Monk’s side are to be in with a chance of being a Premier League club next season, Wednesday’s match is a must win game for them.

Luton v Sheffield Wednesday Prediction

Despite their recent blip, Sheffield Wednesday have a respectable away record of late having lost just two of their last nine on the road. Although Lutons record at Kenilworth Road isn’t far off that of Wednesday’s away, we can’t dismiss the fact they have lost 10 of their last 12 matches. That, coupled with the fact the visitors really need a win to keep their promotion hopes alive, leads us towards an away win.

Luton haven’t kept a clean sheet since mid-August and so Sheffield Wednesday’s shouldn’t find it hard to find the net. With over 2.5 goals being scored in 7 of Luton’s and 5 of Wednesday’s last 10, we’re also backing this to occur on Wednesday evening.
