Having sat twiddling our thumbs for what seemed like an eternity, following the pandemics intrusion into our season, the games are now coming thick and fast.
Just four days after, at Kenilworth Road, we witnessed that thrilling injury time win against promotion chasing Bournemouth, Luton make the relatively short trip to take on Reading, at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
The last time Reading played at home they were trounced, 7-0, by the current Championship leaders Fulham. But they showed that they are capable of better form as they showed, on Saturday, when they pushed Middlesbrough all the way, at the Riverside Stadium, before the game finished 2-1 to the home side.
But, with the game just a day away, how do, according to our poll, do the Hatters faithful see this game going?
Well, our poll shows that 78% believe it will be Luton journeying home with the three points while a further 14% believe it will be a case of the honours, on the night, being shared with only 8% believe that Reading will get the victory.
But, ahead of the game, what does Sky Sports resident expert, David Prutton, believe the outcome will be?
Seemingly, Prutton predicts nothing but success for Luton, believing it will be a 2-0 win for Luton with the former professional remarking:
“Luton were brilliant against Bournemouth. To be pegged back like they were, but then rally to win the game shows how much character they have. They will be on a real high and should use that to claim all three points in this one.”
Let’s hope that the 78% (from our poll) and Mr Prutton are correct, as three points could see us climb a couple of places up the table and add credence to our hopes of securing a play-off place.
