Stevenage are in the bottom half of the table and are going nowhere with their current form. They have lost their last two back to back in the division now and they will have to try and raise themselves for the weekend as they take on the league leaders Luton. The Hatters got themselves an excellent win out at the tough Exeter last weekend to keep their advantage at the top of the pile at eight points.

LutonStevenage Form
Stevenage need to pick themselves back up following consecutive defeats in League Two. They suffered one-goal margin defeats against Swindon and then Accrington to really set them back. Their chances of getting to the play offs really has long since passed them by. But they have not been doing too badly at home in the league with them having lost just one of the last seven at the Lamex Stadium (W2 D4). But then there hasn’t been a lot of winning for them which could be their downfall in this one. Stevenage have managed only the three goals in total in their last four league games which has been a poor return for them, especially as they have tallied 27 goals at home this season. They have failed to hit the back of the net in either of their last two on home soil which may send the value to backing Luton to win to nil in the game. Their form really is at a low point at the moment with only five sides having claimed fewer than the eight points they have managed in their last eight games in the division.
Luton Form
Luton have been a little up and down recently but they took a 1-0 win over Exeter last weekend at home which was a great response to having lost against Wycombe in their previous game. Their last away games produced a 1-0 win for them and each of three last three league wins now have been by a 1-0 scoreline so there is a great option to consider in the correct score market. Luton are W7 D5 L3 on their travels this season in the league and they have scored at a rate of 1.5 goals per game on average. The Hatters have also been very strong at the back having kept a clean sheet in 47% of their fifteen away games which is highly impressive. They have had a couple of wobbles recently out on the road, losing at Port Vale and Chesterfield, but overall they are pretty dialled in most of the time and with them having taken six clean sheets in their last ten games (home and away) they are going to be in this fixture. 77% of their road goals have come in the second half of matches.
Head to Head News
Luton produced a stunning 7-1 victory at home over Stevenage earlier in the season, actually just back in October. So Boro will probably be still smarting from that. Before that though, Luton were on a three-match losing streak against Stevenage believe it or not and were winless in four against them. However, Luton are W4 D1 L1 from their six previous trips to Stevenage in all competitions. Overall the head to head is at 6-4 in Luton’s favour with just the one draw.

Top Betting Tip Stevenage v Luton
Stevenage have misfired a bit again lately and that could let Luton squeeze their way to victory. The Hatters did a great job out at Exeter last weekend against a tough home side and they should be able to handle themselves again out on the road as they go to the Lamex Stadium. Away win.
