Our prediction for this Championship match:
Luton Town will be aiming to escape the relegation zone when they take on West Bromwich Albion in the opening match of Championship round 13. The Hatters made a slow start to the season, but Friday’s clash could be the turning point for Rob Edwards’ troops. As defensive duo Tom Holmes – Alfie Doughty is banned for the match, home win should not be considered this time out.
The Baggies, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last four league matches. WBA are determined to stay in the automatic-promotion race and we predict that they will advantage of Luton’s vulnerabilities at the back. Speaking of the away team, Paddy McNair has joined Kyle Bartley in the recovery room, with Mason Holgate likely to step up. In their last meeting at Kenilworth Road WBA defeated Luton 3-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
