After suffering a midweek defeat, Cardiff City will be looking for an immediate response in the Championship against Luton Town this weekend. The match is scheduled for Saturday Kenilworth Road with kickoff at 6 pm.
The opponents sit close to the red line with 18 points, whereas the hosts, with only one win in their last five games, sit 11th.
Meanwhile, Luton failed to find the net for a third successive game despite a bright start as they played out a goalless draw away at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
It’s been a frustrating few games for Luton fans, but now they will have to rely on their traditional vital offensive work to earn points.
With their next match at home against Cardiff City, Luton are confident that they will play better because of the familiar playing ground.
On the other hand, Cardiff City was left bitterly disappointed in the Welsh Capital, having been unable to record a third win in a row against Hull City, courtesy of a late Tom Huddlestone penalty.
On Saturday, Cardiff welcomes Luton Town to the Cardiff City Stadium and will be confident of returning to winning ways on their turf.
The Bluebirds have won each of their last four league meetings against the Hatters, including both encounters last season by an aggregate score of 6-0.
