Luton Town, Recent FormLast time out, Luton Town went away feeling content with a 2-0 away win against Wigan Athletic During that encounter they had 38% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Rob Edwards will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Kenilworth Road Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Edwards will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 7 draws in 13 home league games.
On an individual basis, Carlton Morris will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Luton Town's last 6 league games.
Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City will not be too troubled by their 1-0 home defeat against Millwall, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with a 59% share of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Millwall, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games.
A win for Cardiff City is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Callum Robinson has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Luton Town.
The 1-2 victory which Luton Town recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between The Bluebirds and their rivals, Luton, the former have conceded at least one goal. The Hatters have struggled for goals when Cardiff comes to visit Kenilworth Road Stadium, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Cardiff have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Luton.
When playing at home, Luton have lost the last 3 times they've faced Cardiff in the league and have failed to win any of their last 5 encounters.
Luton manager Rob Edwards has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sonny Bradley (Knee), Luke Freeman (Groin), Henri Lansbury (Thigh), Carlton Morris (Calf) and James Shea (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Jamilu Collins (Cruciate ligament) and Mahlon Romeo (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Dean Whitehead will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
