by Ian John in League One Predictions
Our next match prediction from League One features two former Premier League teams who have fallen on more difficult times. Reading host Luton Town with the Royals languishing in the bottom half of the table, while the Hatters, under new manager Jack Wilshere, are on the fringes of the playoffs after a somewhat stuttering league campaign thus far.
After the weekend's league results, Reading now sit in 18th place in the League One table with 22 points from their 19 games, but worryingly they are just outside of the relegation places by goal difference alone. Luton have played a game more than their hosts, 20, and have taken 29 points from those games to lie just outside the playoffs in seventh position.
Reading's recent form is a mixed bag. They started with a 1-1 home draw with Rotherham and then earned a superb 3-0 away win over Blackpool, both in the league. But since then, they have lost their next two league games, a disappointing 2-1 home defeat by Peterborough in midweek and then a 2-0 defeat on the road away to Bradford City at the weekend.
Under Jack Wilshere, Luton have managed a bit more consistency, but they are not picking up enough wins at present. Unbeaten in their last six games, they beat Exeter 4-0 in the Football League Trophy before a 2-2 draw away to Fleetwood in the FA Cup Second Round, which they won on penalties. They then followed that with two draws in the league, 1-1 away to Leyton Orient and 2-2 at home to Port Vale last weekend.

Our Reading vs Luton Town Prediction
Our prediction for the Reading vs. Luton Town League One match is: A Draw.
In general, Reading's recent home form isn't too bad, and neither is Luton's form since Jack Wilshere took charge, but the problem is both sides don't win enough games. In fact, both have a recent history of drawing more than their fair share of matches. This fixture also has a history of low-scoring draws and the form of both teams makes the draw the sensible result to back here.
