Just the six games to go as the Hatters seek to defy the critics and manage to stave off relegation to the EFL League One.
On Tuesday evening, the Hatters will be making the trip to the Potteries to take on a Stoke City side who are also looking to avoid the dreaded drop.
Ahead of the game I thought, here at Vital Luton Town, we’d take a quick look at the form both teams are in.
Starting with Stoke City we find that, in the last 6 games, Stoke City have taken 8 points out of the last 18 available, courtesy of a run of results that reads – DLWLWD – with their latest result, on Saturday, being a 1-1 win away to Preston North End.
Sitting in 20th place in the EFL Championship, Stoke City have scored 41 goals and conceded 53 goals and they currently sit just 4 points ahead of Luton Town.
Continuing with Luton Town, the Hatters have taken 11 points out of the last 18 available, courtesy of a record that reads – WLWDWD – with Luton’s latest result being a noteworthy 1-1 draw against promotion chasing Leeds United.
Sitting in 23rd place in the EFL Championship table, Luton Town have scored 36 goals, 5 fewer than Stoke City, while conceding 61 goals, 8 more than Stoke City.
With the games left this season diminishing, my view is that, if those survival hopes are to be maintained, it is a game that Luton Town just have to win.
