Luton Town hosts Rotherham in round 26 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 4th at Kenilworth Road (Luton)
After the 80s, when Luton Town drew attention to themselves with their cup successes, the Hatters were at an extremely low level for a long time. They even dropped to the 5th division, that is, to a semi-amateur level. However, they managed to return to the Championship in few years. The last draw brought only 19th place, and Luton Town was only three points ahead of the relegation zone. Against this background, the current championship is quite good for Nathan Jones' charges. Moreover, in recent weeks, even when it became clear that there was no threat of relegation, the club continued to score points regularly. In April, the Hatters earned 10 out of 12 possible points. And May started with a 1-1 home draw with Middlesbrough.

Rotherham balanced between the 3rd and 4th divisions of English football not so long ago. Now Paul Warne's wards look much better compared to previous results. And in recent years, the Millers have been promoted to the Championship several times. It also happened in 2020, when the team finished second in League 1 and won another ticket to the higher tier. But Rotherham cannot gain a foothold here. It may be too early to give up on the Millers, but the chances of salvation are extremely small. Mathematically, they have a chance to catch up only with Derby County. But they need to end the season with victories. Since February, the Millers have managed to show something only sporadically. And in mid-April, a series of five defeats began. It looks like a requiem for Rotherham and its chances to stay in the Championship. Yes, it was interrupted in the last round, when the Millers managed to snatch a draw against Blackburn. But this is frankly not enough.
Since 2009, the teams have not crossed paths for a long time, as they have played in different divisions. In November, Luton was able to win away. The only goal was scored by the top scorer Collins. Of course, Rotherham is eager to gain victory. But it looks too weak, and Luton has a good streak. We bet that the hosts won't lose.
Prediction for the match: Luton Town to win with +0.5 handicap
