Cardiff City will attempt to end a three-game winless run when it hosts Luton Town in a Championship contest on Tuesday with kickoff at 9:45 pm.
Cardiff has had a mixed start to the season, taking two points from their opening seven games. They beat Birmingham 1-0 on August 13 and have since won just two points from their next three games, leaving them in 14th place ahead of the midweek contest.
A goalless draw away to West Brom was followed by a 2-0 away defeat to Bristol City, ensuring they are yet to win on the road this season. They had the chance to clinch consecutive home victories on Saturday but had to settle for another goalless draw against Preston, who have not conceded in the league this season.
Luton Town has also struggled for wins this season, with their opening seven games in all competitions yielding one victory. The Hatters failed to win any of their first four matches in the Championship before they beat Swansea City 2-0 on August 26th to claim their first win of the season.
After goals from Allan Campbell and Carlton Morris helped Luton defeat the Swans, they had the chance to clinch back-to-back victories on Friday against Sheffield United.

Cardiff City Team News
Cardiff will be without Joel Bagan, who suffered a head injury, while Jamilu Collins is on the sidelines with an injury. Niels Nkounkou made his debut off the bench against Blackburn and could start at left back. Watters is expected to continue starting up front, to score his first goal of the season when Cardiff faces Luton.
Luton Town Team News
Luton has injuries to key players Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu and Harry Cornick. Although they could not claim all three points on Saturday, the Hatters could name an unchanged lineup for Tuesday’s contest. After scoring in the last two matches, Morris will look to add to his tally when he partners Elijah Adebayo in the frontline.
