Our prediction for this Championship match:
After sharing the spoils with Nottingham Forest, Stoke City will look to return to winning ways in the Championship when face Luton Town on Matchday 34. The Potters are six points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that Wednesday’s clash is of big importance for the home side. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be pacey winger Tyrese Campbell, who scored a brace at the weekend, while all Abdallah Sima, Mario Vrancic, Romaine Sawyers, and Harry Souttar miss out with injuries.
The Hatters, on the other hand, recorded three wins in the previous four league fixtures. Luton proved their worth in a 2-0 win over WBA, and they are surely capable of holding Stoke to a draw at bet365 Stadium. Midfielder Luke Berry should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
