2 years ago 370

Luton Town will be bidding to make it three back to back wins in the EF Championship this weekend when they square of Huddersfield Town in the 12th round of the competition. Kickoffs on October 4 at 21:45 EAT.

Despite their progress up the table, Luton has prevailed in just one of their six league matches at Kenilworth Road this season. Although Luton started the new campaign like a team who were suffering a hangover from missing out on promotion last year, the Hatters are now very much back on an upward trajectory.

Luton Town will be looking for another win following 0-2 Championship success over Hull City in their last outing. In that game, Luton Town managed 30% possession, 10 shots with five of them on target and a goal scored by Henri Lansbury (44′). Hull City got 11 shots with none of them on target and goal by Alfie Jones (6′ OG).

Huddersfield suffered their seventh defeat of the campaign last weekend, leaving them in 23rd position in the standings. Huddersfield has now lost each of their four away matches in the Championship and the odds of that run ending at Luton appear slim unless they find solutions at both ends of the pitch. Coming inti this game, Huddersfield won only one of their last six matches.

Huddersfield and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here following 3-2 defeat at the hands of Reading in their last encounter. In that game, Huddersfield Town had 54% possession, 10 shots with three of them on target and goals scored by Lee Nicholls (36′ OG) and Tom Lees (94′). Reading got 11 shots with three of them on target and goals by Tom McIntyre (29′) and Yakou Meïté (81′).
