Cardiff City

Cardiff City suffered a 2-1 loss to Sunderland in their last game to extend their losing run to three games. They have now secured just one win in their last seven games, but they have been decent at home, remaining unbeaten in six of their last seven games in front of their home fans. The Bluebirds sit 21st on the table with 36 points in 36 games, scoring 39 goals and conceding 59. Meanwhile, David Turnbull (muscle), Jak Alnwick (hamstring), Ollie Tanner (foot), and Jesper Daland (calf) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Luton Town

Expert Betting Tips

Among the teams in the Championship that I cannot back on the road is Luton Town. The Hatters have only secured one win in their last 18 away games this season, and it doesn’t look like things will change for them going forward. However, I believe they will get a consolation goal in this game because the hosts' defence is as bad as the visitors.
