Luton Town vs Sunderland Match Analysis & Prediction
23/10/2024 9:45 pm
Looking to record back-to-back wins for the second time this season, Luton Town play host to early pacesetters Sunderland at Kenilworth Road for a Championship match on Wednesday night.
Following a sobering two-goal defeat at Sheffield United prior to October’s international break – leading to criticism from supporters directed at manager Rob Edwards – Luton responded in perfect fashion on Saturday, comfortably beating local rivals Watford.
In what was easily their best performance of the 2024-25 campaign to date, Luton inflicted three doses of goalscoring pain on Watford, with midfielder Jordan Clark, striker Carlton Morris and substitute Jacob Brown all breaching the net of Daniel Bachmann.
After securing their third win of the Championship season, the Hatters are currently occupying 17th position in the standings after 10 matches, three points ahead of 22nd-placed Cardiff City but already seven points behind Blackburn Rovers, who sit in the lowest of the playoff spot.
After finishing 41 points behind Championship winners Leicester City by the conclusion of the 46-game schedule, Sunderland are currently leading the promotion-chasing pack at the top of the division, sitting three points ahead of third-placed Leeds United after 10 matches.
Sunderland showcased their prowess on the road on Sunday, when a mazy solo run and finish from summer arrival Wilson Isidor secured a 1-0 victory over Hull City at the MKM Stadium, with the visitors limiting the Tigers to just a single shot on target across the 90 minutes.
Both of Sunderland’s Championship defeats have come away from the Stadium of Light so far, with Regis Le Bris’ side failing to secure anything tangible from matches against Plymouth Argyle and Watford.

Sunderland right-back Niall Huggins is expected to be sidelined until after the New Year, so Northern Ireland international Trai Hume will continue as the undisputed choice in that position.
