Luton Town vs Blackpool Prediction: Blackpool are struggling with injuries

As it stands, Luton Town currently maintains a significant 20-place advantage over Blackpool in the Championship league table, leading up to their scheduled encounter at Kenilworth Road on the upcoming Monday.

Luton Town’s Form

Luton's recent match against promotion contenders Millwall resulted in a draw, marking their 14th tie of the season. This outcome has potentially impeded their opportunity to participate in the automatic promotion conversation under the management of Rob Edwards and his team.

Following the goalless outcome of their recent match on Friday, the team occupying the third position in the league table currently trails Sheffield United by a margin of eight points, although they have played an additional game. However, the potential for a higher standing cannot be overlooked, considering the seven draws registered by the Blades this season, which could have translated into victories.

The current reality for the Hatters places them in third position, making them the frontrunners for the Championship playoffs, unless there is a significant decline in their performance during the season's closing stages. Regardless of the outcome of this weekend's matches, their position is secured. Furthermore, the team is anticipated to secure a win against the struggling side in the upcoming round of fixtures.

Luton’s possible lineup

Horvath; Osho, Lockyer, Bell; Drameh, Mpanzu, Nakamba, Doughty; Campbell; Morris, Adebayo.

Blackpool’s Form

It is evident that Blackpool has had a challenging season, particularly in the defensive department, having conceded a total of 64 goals in the 40 fixtures played thus far.

Blackpool has registered the worst defensive record in the competition, having conceded the most goals in comparison to other teams. However, their attacking prowess is noteworthy, as they have scored the joint-highest number of goals among the bottom five teams, indicating their potential to secure victories.

During his tenure as head coach of the club, McCarthy was able to secure only two victories out of the 13 Championship matches played. The team's sole win in their last five games was a resounding 6-1 triumph over Queens Park Rangers. However, with only six games left to play, the Tangerines find themselves trailing by seven points and time is rapidly dwindling for their efforts to avoid relegation.

Blackpool’s possible lineup

Maxwell; Lawrence-Campbell, Nelson, Husband, Thompson; Carey, Dougall, Patino; Bowler, Rogers, Poveda.
