In the EFL Championship, Luton Town will play Sunderland at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, October 29. The goal is for Luton Town to win again. Watford defeated the Hatters 4-0 on Sunday. Their seven-game winning streak was ended by goals from Keinan Davis, William Troost-Ekong, Joao Pedro, and Ismaila Sarr.
Nathan Jones’ team is currently ninth in the standings, five spots ahead of their closest rivals, with 24 points from 16 games. In contrast, Sunderland is coming off consecutive defeats in a season that has been inconsistent. After falling 4-2 to Burnley, the Black Cats lost 2-0 to Blackburn Rovers.
Prediction
Sunderland is in bad shape when they go to Kenilworth Road, but history is on their side because the Black Cats haven’t lost to Luton in nearly 28 years. The Hatters have been playing well, despite losing their most recent game. They have an excellent record at home and were unbeaten in their previous seven games. In an effort to win, both teams will go at it, but it could end in a draw.
