Luton Town vs Sheffield United prediction 2024-02-10
Saturday’s football game at Kenilworth Road pits together Luton Town and Sheffield United, the two sides who sit in the bottom half of the table. The Hatters are eager to escape the danger zone and given their excellent offensive display in a 4-4 draw with Newcastle United, home win should be considered. All Nakamba, Andersen, and Lockyer are out of contention, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Blades, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only ten points on their account. The rock-bottom side experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Aston Villa and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Luton’s party ta Kenilworth Road. As for the away team, Rhian Brewster is banned for the match, while all Ivo Grbic, Max Lowe, John Egan, George Baldock, and Daniel Jebbison remain in the recovery room.
