Luton Town vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Prediction
Watford are on course for promotion at the first time of asking and that target will dominate their away match against Luton Town on Saturday. Second placed Watford have 82 points while Luton are in 13th place with 53 points. The two sides have very different ambitions going to this game, hosts Luton are gunning for three points here to be able to rise into the top half of the Championship standings. Three goals in the last 10 minutes in their last match completed a 3-1 comeback over 10-man Wycombe Wanderers. Luton have one win in their last three league matches, the other two were losses, and in the three they have no clean sheet. In the last eight Championship matches, they’ve won just two and suffered four losses, while keeping one clean sheet. These two are on opposite ends in the league standings, and have a rivalry dating many years back, and thus bragging rights will be at stake as well.
Watford have the best defence in the Championship and it is well balanced with a performing frontline, marshaled by Ismaila Sarr, who has 12 goals in the league. They have an eight-game unbeaten run, with the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough being their only slip up in the run. They can’t afford more of that, with a tough run of fixtures ahead, they can only focus on widening the seven point gap they have on third placed Swansea, with automatic promotion a priority. Looking back, Watford have 11 wins in their last 13 matches in the Championship, which makes them the side with the best form in the competition, and with a game against Norwich also coming up, they may have higher targets than finishing second. For now though, the call from Xisco Munoz will be to go for three points against Luton. The Hornets recovered from their 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough by beating Reading 2-0, with Sarr scoring a brace in two minutes. He now has three goals in the last two matches and will be fired up for this challenge. Watford will be without their skipper Troy Deeney for this game but they should be able to cope.

Our Luton Town vs Watford Prediction
With Watford’s tough run of fixtures ahead, they’ll feel the need to avoid dropping points at all cost here. This is a tricky game for them but they have done well lately, and have been fairly good away from home. Luton do not have a very good home run and we will lean more on a Watford win here.
