Recent form

Luton Town

Last 6: DLLDLL

Luton Town are currently experiencing a concerning run of form, finding themselves rooted to the bottom of the Championship table in 24th position. The Hatters have not tasted victory in their last 11 matches, with their most recent six games yielding just two points from a possible 18. Their goal-scoring woes are particularly evident, having netted only three times in their last six outings, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more stable, conceding 1.33 goals per game, but have managed just one clean sheet in this period. The majority of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Their 3-2 defeat to Oxford United stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run, but unfortunately for Luton, it resulted in another loss. The team are currently on a four-match winless streak in the league, highlighting the urgent need for a turnaround in their fortunes if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone.

Plymouth Argyle

Last 6: LDWWWL

Plymouth Argyle's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the club experiencing both highs and lows. Despite their low position in the league table, the Pilgrims have shown some promising signs, winning three of their last six matches. Notably, they achieved a remarkable upset in the FA Cup, defeating Premier League giants Liverpool 1-0. Their most impressive result came in a 5-1 thrashing of Millwall, showcasing their attacking potential. However, consistency remains an issue, as evidenced by a heavy 5-0 defeat to Burnley. Plymouth's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and an average of 3.5 goals per match. While their attacking output is respectable at 1.67 goals per game, their defence remains a concern, conceding 1.83 goals per match on average.

Recent home/away form

Luton Town

Last 6: WWLDLL

Luton Town have been struggling at home recently, with a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in their last three matches at Kenilworth Road. The Hatters have failed to score in their last four home games, which is particularly worrying for a side battling relegation in 24th position. Despite this poor run, their previous two home matches resulted in wins, both with a scoreline of 2-1. Luton's defensive record at home has been relatively steady, conceding just five goals in their last six matches, but their lack of goals scored (only four in six games) is a significant issue. The majority of their recent home matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing under 2.5 goals. This suggests that while Luton are struggling to find the back of the net, they are at least keeping matches tight and competitive.

Plymouth Argyle

Last 6: LLDWDL

Plymouth Argyle's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding one win, two draws, and three losses. The Pilgrims have struggled to find the back of the net on their travels, scoring only three goals in these six games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per match. Defensively, they've been somewhat vulnerable, conceding 10 goals, including a particularly heavy 4-0 defeat to Coventry City. However, Plymouth have managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, suggesting some resilience at the back. Their matches tend to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of these games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Notably, Plymouth's sole away victory came in an FA Cup match against Brentford, whilst they've failed to win any of their last four away league games, a concerning trend for a side currently languishing in 23rd position in the Championship.
