Prediction: Luton vs. Bristol City (19.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

This is the first league meeting between Luton Town and Bristol City since March 2005, when the Hatters won 5-0 in a League One clash. Luton are winless in three home games in all competitions (W0 D1 L2), their worst run since March 2017 (four games). The last meeting between Luton and Bristol City came in August 2015 in a League Cup first round match, with Luton winning 3-1 at Kenilworth Road.

Though the last league meeting between these two ended in a 5-0 victory for Luton (2005), they would be lucky to notch another similar result considering they are one of only two sides yet to record a clean sheet this Championship campaign (1.82 goals conceded per match average). Luton Town are one of two teams yet to keep a Championship clean sheet this season, along with QPR. At home, Luton often start their matches organised, with three of their five Championship home fixtures producing a goalless first half, and 70.59% of the total goals scored in such games arriving after the interval. Notably though, they have conceded the opener in four of their five home league games this season.

Bristol City travel here after losing just one Championship game this season (W5, D5, L1) and are one of just three sides still unbeaten on the road (W3, D3). Notably, half of those away games saw Bristol concede first, while half produced over 1.5 first-half goals (1.33 first-half goals per match average). Bristol City are one of three teams still unbeaten away from home in the Championship (W3 D3 L0), along with Nottingham Forest and Swansea City. All seven of Bristol’s competitive away games this season saw both teams score, and they have come from behind to win in the only game that they trailed at half-time. Additionally, their fixtures average a league-high 3.33 total goals per Championship road trip ahead of the round.
