Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While The Hatters have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Walsall's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Saddlers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Luton Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 25 points from their 33 games thus far. Walsall's total of 52 points from their 33 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Hatters at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Saddlers come away with an easy victory. Away win
