Luton take on the visitors Middlesbrough in the round 44 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, April 24th at Kenilworth Road (Luton).
Luton have been able to add only the decade from 1982-1992 to their accomplishments, and even then they finished in 7th place in the championship and won the League Cup. However, 10 years ago, the club rolled down to the semi-amateur National Conference, the 5th division of British football. Then, however, they managed to regain their positions, and in 2019, "Town" even became the winner of League 1. Finally, at the end of last season, they suddenly rose to 6th place and played in the playoffs, but lost to "Huddersfield" there. The creator of that success, Nathan Jones, moved to "Southampton" in November, where he was unable to stay for long. He was replaced by another Welshman, 40-year-old Rob Edwards, who, at the peak of his career as a footballer, made it to the Welsh national team. He not only managed to hold onto the positions won but also improved the results. It is clear that in this Championship season, "Burnley" is unreachable, and, in fact, "Sheffield United" too. But it is "Luton" that is currently in second place and showing good form. The unbeaten streak has been going on since the end of February. However, they were limited to a draw of 1-1 with "Reading".

Middlesbrough are generally valued much higher than their opponents. Even in recent years - the last time they made it to the Premier League was in the middle of the last decade. However, this ended with relegation at the end of the first cycle, and no serious attempts to climb back up have been made successfully. For example, they finished in 7th place a year ago - by the way, they scored 5 points less than "Luton" did. This season had a weak start, but after that, Michael Carrick was invited to "Riverside", who had only a couple of matches as head coach of "Manchester United", and that was as "acting". In this tournament, he has already managed to raise his team to the playoff zone. However, April began with a couple of defeats, and a 2-2 draw with "Bristol City" didn't add any points to the current team. They only managed to break through with "Norwich", and by a score of 5-1. After that, they won against "Hull", but more modestly, by 3-1.
The "Hatters" have only 1 win in their last 5 matches. The "Riversiders" have won three times during this period, including being stronger in both extreme matches - twice by 2-1. But both times they played at home. The "Hatters" will play at home and are therefore considered the favorites. However, the "Riversiders" are not occupying their current place in the table for nothing. We recommend betting on both teams scoring in this match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
