Prediction: 0-2
Preston
After playing out a goalless draw with Coventry City, Luton Town will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Preston at their Kenilworth Road. The Hatters failed to find the net in the previous two league fixtures, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. The Lilywhites, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Middlesbrough, and a triumph over Luton will see them move a little closer to the playoffs berth.
Considering that the Hatters have been struggling in front of goal of late, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors, who have been showing signs of improvement in recent weeks. A man to watch in the away team will be experienced winger Scott Sinclair, who scored his seventh goal of the season in the midweek clash.
