Luton vs Coventry: match preview
Luton played in the Premier League last season, but now the team is at the bottom of the Championship table. Against this backdrop, their fall looks even more painful. They currently occupy 22nd place — the relegation zone. After 44 rounds, the team has 46 points and trails Derby on goal difference. With only two rounds left in the championship, they desperately need to win to retain their league status.
Coventry was also at the bottom of the table and decided to change the head coach. Frank Lampard took over the team, managed to improve the game, and lifted the squad upwards. They are currently in sixth place in the Championship table with 66 points after 42 rounds. The gap from the seventh position is three points with two rounds to go. If the team wins and their rivals drop points, Coventry can secure a playoff spot in this round. However, it's better not to rely on others and secure points themselves.
Probable lineups
- Luton: Kaminski; Makosso, McGuinness, Mengi, Bell; Jones, Fanne, Walsh, Asgard; Alli, Morris
- Coventry: Collins; van Ewijk, Latibeaudiere, Kitching, Dasilva; Schiff, Grimes, Sakamoto, Rudoni, Wright; Simms
Prediction
Luton is in a very difficult position and must win, but Coventry also has strong motivation for victory. I believe Coventry will secure important points, and I bet they won't lose with odds of 1.5.
