Leeds v Luton

Leeds v Luton Preview

Leeds United overcame a spirited Swansea City outfit to grab all three points in what was an entertaining tussle in Wales on Sunday with a 4-3 win away from home which in turn helped lift the Yorkshire club to the top of the Championship table.

Luton Town picked up a second win in three games on Saturday thanks to a precious 1-0 home win against Hull City which lifted The Hatters up into 16th place and three points clear of the relegation zone.

Goal difference separates the new league leaders, Leeds United, from second placed Sunderland and indeed Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United as Leeds return to Elland Road for this upcoming midweek encounter against a Luton Town side who have struggled to adapt to the drop down in division so far this season.

Leeds United have produced a solid and steady campaign so far in the Championship as the hosts have been handed just two defeats while also picking up nine wins along with five draws, and the hosts will be looking to make the most of home advantage here on Wednesday night too.

Indeed, Leeds United have collected six wins from their eight home games to date this term, winning their last five on the trot at Elland Road, while goals also look set to feature as five of Leeds United's last 10 home games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Luton Town manager, Rob Edwards, would have been relieved to see his side capture only their fifth win of this Championship season on the weekend when The Hatters registered a welcome 1-0 home win against Hull City.

However, despite picking up these five wins so far in this season's Championship it is worth noting that four of these five victories have been achieved on home soil at Kenilworth Road, while results away from home this season have contributed to Luton Town's current position in the lower half of the second tier table.

The Hatters have scored in each of their last seven games overall in the Championship but this has not prevented the visitors from slipping to defeats in each of their last four games on the road as Rob Edwards' side have slumped to defeats at Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield United, Coventry City and Middlesbrough respectively.

The goals market looks appealing here at Elland Road on Wednesday night too as three out of Luton Town's last four away games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals along with the fact that The Hatters have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 outings on the road.

Leeds United v Luton Town Verdict

A few goals plus a home win for Leeds United therefore looks to be on the cards here on Wednesday night.
