Luton are driving their way to League One with such a strong first half of the season behind them. They are four points clear at the top of the table heading into the weekend where they make a trip to Port Vale. The Valiants have done so well recently to pull themselves clear of any relegation issues and they have strung together a four-match unbeaten streak of form.

LutonPort Vale Form
The Valiants are going really well at the moment with a W3 D1 record in their last four matches now and they collected a superb home win over Coventry on Boxing Day as well to make it back to back home wins to nil for them in their current form. They have actually won three of their last four at Vale Park to nil now and even though they are facing a quality side in Luton, Vale may have enough to keep the score under 2.5 goals. Overall Vale are W4 D1 L7 at home this season but have improved on home soil drastically since mid-October. They have only averaged exactly one goal per game on home soil this season and have taken a clean sheet in a quarter of those matches. They do have a good strike rate of having opened the scoring in 7 of their 12 home games.
Luton Form
Luton looks pretty unstoppable at the moment. They faced a tricky away game on Boxing Day as they went to Swindon and they just rolled up and stuffed the Robins 5-0. They have scored at least two goals now in seven of their last eight games home and away in the league. They have also won their last three games to nil as well and they are just power personified. Five of their last six victories in the league have been with a clean sheet. The Hatters are W6 D5 L1 on their travels this season and are eleven unbeaten on the road. They have only conceded eight goals in twelve away games and themselves they have averaged 1.75 goals per away game. The scoring threats that Danny Hylton, James Collins and Elliot Lee provide are just immense.
Head to Head News
