Luton Town pack their bags to visit Cardiff City at Ninian Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Hatters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 6 of the 27 games.
The previous match played between the two at Ninian Park was more than three years back, in August 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
This promises to be an excellent test for the in-form The Hatters, but one which I believe will end in stalemate. Score draw
