After narrowly missing out on the playoffs last season, Luton Town renew their push to return to the Championship when they travel to face Reading in League One opening round on Saturday. The Hatters are unbeaten in their last 13 competitive matches, dating back to last season, and have won each of their last four, leading us to favour them in our prediction.
Reading fell below expectations in their first competitive fixture of the season on Saturday as they drew 1–1 with newly promoted League One side Bromley in the Carabao Cup in regulation time. They eventually advanced to the next round after winning the penalty shootout 5–4, but the performance underlined their struggles in competitive matches since last season.
The Royals ended their League One campaign last season on a disappointing note, going winless in their final six matches. That run included defeats in each of their last three home games.
Meanwhile, Luton Town proved too strong for Gillingham in their Carabao Cup opener on Saturday. Nahki Wells, Benedict Benagr, and Gideon Kodua all scored as the Hatters thrashed the League One side 3–0 to advance to the next round.
That result marked their fourth consecutive win in competitive matches and extended their unbeaten run to 13 games, dating back to last season. They remain undefeated in their last eight competitive away matches, winning five.

Our Reading vs Luton Town Prediction
Reading completed a league double over Luton Town last season, but this encounter presents a distinctly different challenge. They are priced as underdogs, and rightly so, after a largely underwhelming finish to last season. The outcome of their first competitive fixture of the season also offered little encouragement.
Ironically, Luton Town’s last defeat in a competitive fixture came against Reading last season. Since then, the tables have turned, with the Hatters now in a strong position to exact revenge. Our Reading vs Luton Town prediction: Luton Town wins.
