Luton Town vs Wigan

Luton Town welcome Wigan to Kenilworth Road for a midweek English League One fixture.

Both teams have made decent starts to the league and will be keen to maintain their momentum. However, the Hatters will be counting on some home comfort and should have the upper hand here.

Luton Town News

Luton Town head into this clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Bradford City in their previous League One fixture. That was the second straight loss for Matt Bloomfield’s men, who were beaten 1-0 at Coventry City in an EFL Cup first-round clash.

While those two results are disappointing, Luton Town will be pleased with their start to the League One campaign, having picked up two wins in three matches. They have played just one home game this season, picking up a 1-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon on the opening weekend.

Luton Town often leave things late and have scored all the goals in their four matches across all competitions after the break. This trend has also seen them win the second half in two of their three League One matches.

Wigan News

Wigan will be pleased with their start to the season, having also picked up two wins from three matches so far. They earned a 2-0 home victory over Peterborough in their previous League One fixture.

The Latics’ overall form has been solid, with three wins from four matches across all competitions. However, all three wins have come at home, with their only away game so far ending in a 2-0 defeat at Leyton Orient.

A similarity with the hosts is that Wigan also like to leave things late on their travels. All four goals in their last five League One away matches, stretching back to last season, have come in the second half.

Head to Head

Luton Town have three wins and two draws while Wigan have picked up just one victory in the last six matches. The last meeting was a Championship clash back in 2023, which ended in a 2-1 away victory for the hosts.

Verdict

Luton v Wigan

Luton Town have a good record on home soil and will be confident of seeing off Wigan, whose only defeat this season has come on the road. Having won the second half in two of the last three League One matches, the hosts could be set for a similar pattern on Tuesday.

The Hatters have scored all their goals this season after the break, while Wigan also tend to leave things late on their travels. This clash is expected to produce more goals in the second half.
