Luton Town vs Gillingham Match Analysis & Prediction
29/08/2023 9:45 pm
Luton Town will be looking to put behind them a rough start to the season when they host Gillingham at Kenilworth Road in the EFL Cup round of 64.
Meanwhile, the visitors set out to return to winning ways off the back of seeing their perfect start to the campaign end last time out.
Luton came away empty-handed from the second game running as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in Friday’s game at Stamford Bridge.
One of four teams still yet to pick up a point so far, Rob Edwards’ ide sit bottom but one in the Premier League table, although with a game in hand.
Currently on a run of six wins and two draws from their last eight matches on home turf, the Hatters will be keen to secure a much-needed victory in front og their fans to help kickstart their season.
Meanwhile, Gillingham claimed a surprise 3-1 victory over Southampton in the first round of the EFL Cup when the sides met at Priestfield Stadium on August 8.
That was the second of five successive victories for Gillingham who, however, suffered a 3-0 defeat to Colchester on Saturday.
Having won seven successive away matches without conceding, Neil Harris’ side will be full of confidence ahead of what is set to be a tough assignment against more illistrous opponents.
Luton Town vs. Gillingham Head to head
In the 17 previous meetings between these two teams, Luton have claimed eight victories while Gillingham have won six, and they have drawn in three. Gillingham have scored 23 goals and conceded 27 in the process.
