Our prediction for this Championship match:
Luton Town and Swansea City go head to head at Kenilworth Road in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Hatters have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Burnley, beating Birmingham while sharing the spoils with Millwall. Both Reece Burke and Luke Freeman remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Jack Walton is a major doubt.
The Swans, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run, with the team sitting in 15th place in the standings. The South Wales outfit are stuck in the middle of the table, and seeing that Luton are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, home win should be considered. Goalkeeper Steven Benda is sidelined with injury, while there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Bedfordshire.
