Luton Town 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Current streaks

Recent form

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their latest victory against Millwall breaking a four-game winless streak. The team has struggled offensively, scoring only 0.67 goals per game in their last six matches, while conceding an average of 1.33 goals. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets, which is a positive sign. The standout game in this period was their heavy 4-1 defeat to Burnley, which significantly impacted their goal difference. Despite their low scoring rate, Luton Town has been involved in relatively tight contests, with 67% of their games seeing under 2.5 goals. Their 19th position in the league table reflects their inconsistent performances, but the recent win against Millwall could potentially mark a turning point for the team.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form presents a mixed picture, with some concerning league performances offset by cup successes. The team is currently struggling in the Championship, sitting in 20th position with only 4 points from 5 games. Their last six matches across all competitions show a pattern of WDLLWL, indicating inconsistency. Notably, they've suffered two heavy defeats in the league, losing 3-0 to Millwall and 4-0 to Sunderland, which contribute to their concerning goal difference of -4. However, their cup form provides a silver lining, with an impressive 5-1 victory over Grimsby in the League Cup and a recent 1-0 win against Blackpool in the same competition. The team's defensive record in the league is a particular concern, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game, while their attacking output remains modest at 1.17 goals scored per game.

Recent home/away form

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent home form has been concerning, with a notable run of five consecutive losses across various competitions. The team has struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2.67 goals per game in their last six matches, while only managing to score 1.17 goals per game themselves. High-scoring games have been a feature, with 83% of their recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals, including particularly high-scoring encounters against Fulham (2-4) and Burnley (1-4). Despite their poor run, Luton Town has consistently found the net, with both teams scoring in 100% of these games. However, their inability to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches has contributed significantly to their current 19th position in the league, having accumulated just 4 points from 5 games.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's away form presents an interesting mix of results, with notable success in cup competitions contrasting their league struggles. The team has won three of their last six away games, all in cup competitions, including an impressive 5-1 victory over Grimsby in the League Cup. However, their Championship away performances have been concerning, suffering heavy defeats to Millwall (3-0) and Sunderland (4-0). The Owls have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent away games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite scoring 10 goals in their last six away matches, they've also conceded 11, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Their cup form provides a glimmer of hope, but Sheffield Wednesday will need to translate this success to their league performances to improve their current 20th position in the Championship.
