Prediction: 1-1
Luton
Reading and Luton square off against each other at Select Car Leasing Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Royals aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to WBA, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Luton. All Jahmari Clarke, Michael Morrison, Andy Rinomhota, Tom McIntyre, Yakou Meite, and Lucas Joao are out of contention with injuries for the hosts.
The Hatters, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Fulham. Luton have been having their ups and downs of late, but they are surely capable of matching Veljko Paunovic’s troops, who have been anything but impressive in the first half of the season. In their last meeting in the English second tier the two teams played out a goalless draw. Midfielder Luke Berry should be the only absentee in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Andy Yiadom):
Andy Yiadom was born in Holloway, London, but he began his career in the youth team of Watford. After spending two years at the Watford football academy, the pacey full-back (winger) joined Hayes & Yeading United and he scored only one goal in 36 appearances in the league for the club.
At the end of the 2010/2011 campaign Yiadom moved to Braintree Town and after scoring seven goals in 27 appearances for the Iron he signed a contract with Barnet. The 180-cm-tall footballer played for Barnet from 2012 to 2016 and he scored 14 goals in 169 appearances for the Bees. Andy Yiadom then decided to take a step forward in his career as he moved to Championship side Barnsley.
The English footballer played 32 games in the league for the Tykes last season and he provided three assists for his teammates, while receiving four yellow cards. His main position is full-back (right-back), but he is capable of playing on the left flank as well.
Highlighted Team (Luton ):
Founded back on April 11, 1885, Luton Town are an English club that compete in the Championship. The Hatters welcome their rivals at Kenilworth Road, the stadium which was opened in 1905. The capacity of the stadium is 10,356, with Luton Borough Council owning the venue.
Luton Town wear orange shirts with a little white and dark blue and dark blue shorts when playing at home, whilst their away colours are white and dark blue. Andy Rennie is the club’s all-time top scorer, netting 162 goals in all competitions for the Hatters. The likes of Joe Payne, Hugh Billington, Bernard Streten, Dyd Owen, Bob Morton, Ron Baynham, Gordon Turner and Mal Donaghy are one of the club’s most notable players as well.
Luton Town finished the 2018/2019 League One campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will compete in the Championship in the 2019/2020 season.
