Luton Town vs Leeds United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship

Second-placed Leeds lock horns against second-placed from the bottom Luton Town.

Matchday 40 fixtures of the EFL Championship take us to the Kenilworth Road Stadium as Luton Town and Leeds United lock horns in a thrilling clash.

Luton Town FC are currently second from the bottom in the EFL Championship points table. A team that competed in the top division of English football last season now finds itself struggling to make an impact in the second tier. However, their recent form have been promising, showing signs of improvement.

They will aim to make the most of their home advantage when they face Leeds United in the next game. A win could see them climb to 20th place, levelling on points with Derby County. Having won three of their last five matches, Luton will be eager to capitalize on their momentum against Leeds United.

Leeds United are currently positioned 2nd in the EFL Championship points table. A win in their next game could see them reclaim the top spot and move closer to securing direct promotion to the Premier League. Having lost only four games all season, their impressive goal difference of +51 highlights the strength of both their attack and defence.

Leeds have scored the most goals of any team this season while also maintaining a solid defensive record. However, their recent form have been somewhat concerning, with just one win in their last five matches and back-to-back draws in their most recent outings. They will be eager to regain momentum and secure a crucial victory against Luton Town in their upcoming match.
