Struggling Luton Town host local rivals Watford in one of the early kick offs in the Championship on Saturday. What will our match prediction be as the Hatters take on the Hornets in a crucial game for both teams?
Rob Edwards’ Luton were expected to be challenging for promotion this season, but a poor start sees them lying just outside the relegation zone. They lost their first two at home, but have picked up four points from their last two games at Kenilworth Road.
They are without a win in three games and most recently were 2-0 losers when facing Sheffield United before the international break.
Watford’s recent form is very poor on the road, in contrast with their good home form. The Hornets are unbeaten at home this season but away from home have just one win in five and they have lost all their last four away games, the most recent a 3-0 loss against Preston.
The Hornets most recent clash saw them beat Middlesbrough 2-1 at Vicarage Road a fortnight back.
This is a fixture that has a historic rivalry, given the closeness of the two teams geographically. Add to that a real need for both teams to land three points and this game should be a cracker!

If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
