Luton take on the visitors Sheffield United in the round 6 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, August 26th at Kenilworth Road (Luton).
Luton couldn't win for quite some time. The Hatters managed to earn the chance to compete for the right to play in the Premier League last season. Nathan Jones was able to lift his wards to 6th place, but he failed to shine in the play-offs. Perhaps this was a serious blow for the team, because it frankly failed the beginning of the new championship. Here and the defeat of the first opponent, Newport, in the League Cup, and 2 points in 4 starting matches of the Championship. Moreover, Luton first drew with Birmingham and Burnley, and then lost to Preston and Bristol City. And only last Saturday they managed to win 2-0 at the Swansea field.

Sheffield United faltering but heading into the tour as division leaders. The “Blades” last season gradually gained momentum. It was not possible to get involved in a real fight for 1-2 places in the final standings, but they managed to finish in 5th position. But, like Luton, the team lost in the play-offs. On the other hand, Paul Heckingbottom's wards seem to be ready not only to keep their courage, but also to increase it. There were failures at the start: 0-1 at Watford in the 1st round, relegation from the League Cup due to a failure in the game against West Brom. But at the same time, the club was able to earn 10 out of 12 possible points in the last 4 matches (a 2-2 draw at the Middlesbrough field and immediately 3 wins at home, againts Millwall, Sunderland and Blackburn, the latter being defeated 3-0). This allowed the wards of Paul Heckingbottom to rise to jump to 1st place in the current standings. But this is the Championship, and here, of course, the status of the leader after 5 matches played is just nice, but it doesn’t really mean anything.
Luton have had only 1 win in their last 5 head-to-head meetings with Sheffield United, with 3 defeats. It was last season of the Championship when the sides exchanged home wins. Luton, of course, finally won, but Sheffield United looks more stable. We recommend betting on the victory of "blades" with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Sheffield United to win with 0.0 handicap.
