Brentford continue their promotion push in midweek when they host Luton in their Championship clash at the Brentford Community Stadium. The Bees currently occupy a playoff spot, their tally of 41 points from 22 games positioning them fourth in the table. They are nine points behind league leaders Norwich with two games in hand. Meanwhile, Luton are 12th in the table with 33 points from 24 games. Luton starred in many low-scoring games in the Championship this season, the most recent of which was a 1-0 away win at Bournemouth. They have won three of their last four Championship matches, three of which featured fewer than three goals. That triumph at Dean Court came as a surprise because Luton had failed to win their previous six away matches. Only two of their 13 away games before this trip featured more than two goals. Luton lost on their two most recent visits to Brentford, the last being a 7-0 mauling.

Brentford warmed up for this game with a 2-1 home win over Middlesbrough. It extends an extraordinary unbeaten run in the Championship to 15 games. More importantly, Brentford claimed victory in four of their most recent five outings in the league. Two of those successes came at home, where Brentford are unbeaten in nine league fixtures. While this is an impressive undefeated streak, Brentford lag behind their rivals when it comes to home records. They have only picked up five victories from 11 home games, a record they're capable of improving. We think they will start this process with a win over Luton.
