Prediction: 1-1
Cardiff
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Birmingham City, Luton Town will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Cardiff City at their Kenilworth Road. The Hatters did well to put an end to their three-game winless run at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Luton want to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but the midweek game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
Both Eunan O’Kane and James Bree are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Bluebirds, on the other hand, head into Tuesday’s clash with a severely-weakened squad, with all Jordi Osei-Tutu, Lee Tomlin, Alex Smithies, Isaac Vassell, Jonathan Williams, and Sol Bama missing the game with injuries. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Kenilworth Road, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.
Highlighted Player (Simon Sluga):
Simon Sluga is a Croatian goalkeeper who plays for Luton Town in the Championship. Born in Porec on March 17, 1993, the 191-cm-tall shot-stopper started his youth career at hometown club Jadran Porec before joining famous Croatian club Rijeka.
After spending two years on loan Juventus Primavera and Verona Primavera, Simon Sluga signed a professional contract with Rijeka in 2013. It has to be noted that he played for the likes of Pomorac, Lokomotiva Zagreb and Spezia on loan as well before moving to England. The Luton Town goalkeeper represented Croatia U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 teams in international matches and he made his senior team debut on June 11, 2019 in a friendly against Tunisia.
The Vatreni were beaten by the African side 2-1 in Varazdin, with Simon Sluga playing a full 90 minutes for Zlatko Dalic’s team. His contract with Luton Town should expire on June 30, 2022.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
