Reading vs Luton Town Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
Reading’s season has taken a nosedive after their bright start and will be hoping the journey to recovery starts with their home match against struggling Luton Town. The two sides face off on Saturday with a gap of 13 points between them. Reading have 33 points and are placed eighth in the standings while Luton are 14th with 20 points. Reading started the season with a bang, winning their opening four matches and going unbeaten in eight. However, matters have gone on a downward spiral and they head to this game on two straight losses. The team’s latest outcome was a 3-1 loss to Brentford, and they have three wins, and seven losses in their last 12 matches. They have four clean sheets in the last 15 matches and have scored in 13 straight games. Reading have scored two or more goals in six of the last 15 matches but conceded two or more in eight of the 15 games. Ten of their last 15 matches have produced over 2.5 goals and in the last six Championship matches at home, they have one clean sheet, four losses and two wins. Reading have conceded two or more goals in three of the last five home matches and have scored two or more in two of the last five. They lost to Luton in their last meeting, a League Cup clash in September, which ended 1-0, which was one of the two times in this clash that they failed to score in the last 17 meetings. Reading have 10 wins and four losses in the last 17 meetings with Luton.
Luton Town, on their part, are coming from a 0-0 draw with Bournemouth, another scoreless game for the team – the fourth in five matches. They have four wins and five losses in their last 15 matches and the poor scoring run is well highlighted in the fact that they have scored two or more in just two of their last 15 games. However, they have also not been conceding heavily; Luton have let in two or more goals per game in just four of the last 14 matches. In the only match they scored in the last five outings, Jamie Collins grabbed a hat trick as they beat Preston North End 3-0. That outcome three Match Days ago, means Luton have scored four goals in their last six matches. Away from home, they are winless in their last five matches – losing three, keeping one clean sheet, scoring one goal and conceding eight. They have scored the least goals among the top 15 sides – 17.

Our Reading vs Luton Town Prediction
Reading go to this game as favorites; they may not have won a lot lately but compared to Luton Town, they have a better run. Luton have struggled, to score and away from home it has been more stressful. In their scoring form, we don’t expect that they will trouble Reading, though they also don’t concede a lot. Here we feel the score line will be slim, but inclined towards a Reading win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
