Match preview
Oxford had a successful season last year, confidently navigating the League One campaign and securing a spot in the playoffs. In the decisive match at Wembley, the team claimed an important 2-0 victory over Bolton, earning them a place in the Championship. However, at the new level, Oxford United struggled to adapt, and at present, the team is only in 15th place in the standings.
On the other hand, Oxford has been improving in recent matches and is now unbeaten in six games. In particular, in the last round, the team hosted Blackburn and secured a narrow 1-0 win. This victory marked their third consecutive win at home.
Last season, Luton Town made their long-awaited return to the Premier League but could not stay there. After finishing 18th in the top flight, the Hatters returned to the Championship. This season, the situation for the team is not much better, and instead of ambitious goals for a Premier League return, the focus is now on fighting to maintain their place in the Championship.
Currently, the club occupies second-to-last place in the standings with only 26 points. However, they trail Hull City, who sits safely in 21st place, only on additional criteria. In the last round, Luton hosted Preston and played out a 0-0 draw, ending a streak of four consecutive losses.
Probable lineups
- Oxford United: Cumming, Brown, Moore, Nelson, Ter Avest, Mickykran, Volk, Lee, Idris, Goodrum, Scarlett
- Luton Town: Kaminski, Burke, McGuinness, Mengi, Doughty, Walsh, Nakamba, Walters, Clark, Adebayo, Chong

Prediction
