Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Hatters have scored 8, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Southampton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. A generous 11 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Luton Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 40 games have yielded only 37 points. Southampton lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 63 from their 40 games so far.
