Luton head into the weekend in third place in League Two and despite a loss last time out against Coventry, they are still shaping up well. They have plenty of goals in them and a solid defence. So that should mean that Cheltenham have a tough afternoon at Whaddon Road against quality opponents. But the Robins have improved their standings well after a really rocky start to their season and this would be a huge scalp to claim. Luton through are 5/4 favourites to collect the points with the Robins at 21/10.

LutonCheltenham Form
Seven games into the season, Cheltenham had just four points on the board. Since turning things around in mid-September they have a W5 D2 L2 record in their last nine. It’s been good stuff from them and they have won four of their last five on home soil now as well (L1). Their last home game saw them take a great 1-0 win over Lincoln. They have just one clean sheet in their last five in the league home and away and both teams to score appeals at 4/6. They have only been losing at half time in one home game and 62% of matches at Whaddon Road have seen more than two goals this season. They are in the top seven of current League Two form.
Luton Form
Luton have collected more points in their last eight league games than any other side in the division have done. Some of that is down to their league-leading offence. Away from Kenilworth Road in the league this season, Luton are W3 D4 L1 and they are unbeaten in their last seven road games. That shows how strong they are and just how much resilience they have in them too. They aren’t just strong in attack, they are solid at the back as well. They have conceded only the five away goals all season with four clean sheets.
Head to Head News
Cheltenham collected four points from their two games against Luton in the league last season and there was a 1-1 draw in this corresponding fixture at Whaddon Road. There have only been four previous League Two contests between the two clubs and things are even with one win each and two draws.
Top Betting Tips
Luton probably just have too much for the Robins to handle and the visitors are value to go and collect a point. Yes, a point, the last two between them in Gloucestershire have ended in a 1-1 draw and Cheltenham are doing well enough on home soil at the moment to bag a share of the spoils.
