LEAGUE 1 ...


LUTON TOWN - NORTHAMPTON TOWN

Hosts are almost certainly better, than their league position tells us, the problem is that the players seem to believe that too and have been going onto the pitch, simply expecting to collect three points, without fighting for them. This was well illustrated in the cup tie at Gillingham last midweek, they breezed into a 3-1 half time lead and then sat back and allowed the home side to walk all over them.

Luton boss Kevin Blackwell, went beserk, he has told the entire squad that nobody's place is safe and that 5-6 of them, without naming names, will be on the way out of the club. Like Doncaster yesterday, this is a game that is likely to define Luton's season, a win and a playoff spot is still possible. These two met in the JPT last month and the hosts ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, restricting the visitors to few clear cut chances. Blackwell knows that Northampton score a lot of goals from set pieces and has again, been working hard to combat this in training. Think we might see a much improved display from Luton this evening and even the bigtime charlies on show, will probably be motivated by the television cameras.

5 points Luton -1/2 ball 2.135 asian line.


Good Luck.
