Our prediction for this Championship match:
Luton Town and Blackburn Rovers square off against each other at Kenilworth Road in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Hatters have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Cardiff 2-1, losing to Luton, while sharing the spoils with Coventry City. Luton Town are eager to record their first home win of the process, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion-chasing Riversiders.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Carlton Morris, who scored a brace in the midweek draw, while all Rea, Ruddock, Shea, and Doughty are sidelined with injuries. Blackburn, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to Bristol City, with the team beating Watford in the Championship derby 2-0 on Tuesday. Defender Samuel Barnes should be the only absentee in the away side. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on draw as Luton are tough to beat at home.
