Sheffield Wednesday vs Luton Analysis
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday snapped a four-game run in league and cup without a win when they overcame a stiff challenge at QPR last weekend, earning a 2-0 win over a resurgent Hoops outfit at Loftus Road.
Wednesday’s victory moved them up to 10th spot in the Championship table and to within just three points of the division’s playoff positions and the Owls can add momentum to their push for a top six finish with another win over Luton on Saturday.
Sheff Weds have lost just one of their last league assignments at Hillsborough, while only four teams in the Championship have notched more goals at home than the prolific Owls. Wednesday are listed as favourites to beat Luton on the best sports betting sites UK and the hosts could be worth backing to triumph.
Team news: Dominic Iorfa, Nathaniel Chalobah and Akin Famenwo could all miss out for Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday through injury.
Predicted Lineup: Beadle, Valery, Ihiekwe, Bernard, Lowe, Paterson, Charles, Bannan, Gassama, Lowe, Windass
Luton
Luton’s recent change in manager hasn’t made the desired impact and the Hatters still cannot find a way to break their losing habit. Town’s 1-0 loss at home to Millwall last time out was their seventh defeat in eight matches and relegation to League One feels like a real possibility for the club.
Town, who are listed among the favourites for the drop on sites for sports betting, are now lodged in second-last position in the table despite keeping the core of the squad that performed to an admirable level in the Premier League just last year.
Luton have already lost 12 times in 14 away games in the Championship since August and more misery awaits the poor travellers on Saturday.
Team news: Reece Burke, Lamine Fanne, Tahith Chong, Tom Lockyer, Reece Burke, Shandon Baptiste and Teden Mengi are all likely to sit Saturday’s game out for Luton.
Predicted Lineup: Kaminski, Hashioka, McGuinness, Andersen, Bell, Nakamba, Brown, Krauß, Clark, Doughy, Morris

Sheffield Wednesday vs Luton Prediction
Luton have been dismal on their travels this season, losing 12 of their 14 Championship away games since August and winning just once on the road since their relegation. A date with playoff hopefuls Sheffield Wednesday should offer the Hatters little respite and the Owls – who have lost just two of their last nine league fixtures – can push for victory here.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday to win – 11/10 (+110) – BetZone
Sheffield Wednesday vs Luton – The Ultimate Bet:
Over 2.5 goals – 11/10 (+110)
Recent fixtures at Hillsborough have been entertaining affairs with Sheffield Wednesday’s last three matches at that venue averaging a massive 4.66 goals per 90 minutes.
More excitement could be in the works when Luton travel to the Steel City on Saturday. The Hatters’ away games have been averaging 3.00 goals this term, while only two clubs have conceded more goals in total than Luton on the road (31).
Wednesday meanwhile, have been one of the Championship’s most prolific teams on their own patch, netting 24 times in 15 outings at home, so everything points to a high-scoring tussle on Saturday.
