Recent form

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the Hatters struggling to find their footing in the Championship. They currently sit in 21st position, precariously close to the relegation zone. Over their last six matches, Luton have managed just one win, coupled with two draws and three losses. Their sole victory, a convincing 3-0 triumph over local rivals Watford, stands out as a high point amidst a challenging run. Defensively, the team has been vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, whilst their attacking output of 1.5 goals per match suggests they're capable of finding the net. Interestingly, 67% of Luton's recent matches have seen both teams score, with the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals, indicating their games tend to be open affairs. Despite their struggles, Luton have avoided any extended losing streaks, but they'll need to improve their form swiftly to climb away from the relegation battle.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown impressive form in their last six matches, remaining unbeaten with four wins and two draws. The Bluebirds have been particularly solid defensively, conceding only two goals during this period and keeping four clean sheets. Their recent 5-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle stands out as a high-scoring affair, contributing significantly to their impressive goal difference of +9. Despite their current 17th position in the league table, Cardiff's recent performances suggest an upward trajectory, with the team demonstrating resilience by avoiding defeat in their last six outings. The team's ability to score consistently, averaging 1.83 goals per game, coupled with their stingy defence, conceding just 0.33 goals per game, indicates a well-balanced side hitting their stride.
