Luton Town vs Bristol City Prediction: We anticipate Luton Town putting on a polished performance

On Wednesday evening, Luton Town will be welcoming Bristol City as they aim to consolidate their position in the Championship playoffs. Currently occupying fourth place in the table, the Hatters are five points ahead of the seventh-placed team, while Bristol City has moved up to 13th position after a series of better performances in recent months.

Luton Town’s Form

Luton's form since the start of February has been inconsistent, with a humiliating loss to Grimsby Town in the FA Cup adding to their struggles. However, under Rob Edwards's leadership, the team has managed to bounce back with an impressive 10 out of 12 possible points, keeping three clean sheets along the way. They now have a significant advantage in the playoff race, although their focus is on maintaining a minimum five-point lead over the seventh-placed team. Despite winning their recent matches with 1-0 scorelines, Edwards acknowledges that there is room for improvement to hold onto their current position. It's worth noting that Luton has scored in every league match under Edwards, except for a 1-0 loss to league leaders Burnley. Luton's home form is also decent, with only four losses in 18 matches, although they have drawn eight times. Next up, they will face Bristol City at Kenilworth Road.

Luton Town’s possible starting lineup

Morris, Adebayo, Campbell, Onyedinma, Berry, Nakamba, Drameh, Bell, Lockyer, Osho and Horvath

Bristol City’s Form

Following their 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup last month, Bristol City's performance has declined, but Nigel Pearson can be satisfied with how his team has been performing since the beginning of the year. After securing a 2-0 victory over Blackpool on Saturday, the Robins have accumulated 20 points from 11 games, with just one loss. However, despite their improvement, Bristol City is currently nine points behind the playoff positions, making it unlikely for them to progress, although Pearson will continue to urge his team to put pressure on the teams above them. A win on Wednesday would bring Bristol City within nine points of their fourth-placed competitors, and history has demonstrated that momentum can be the deciding factor when vying for promotion from the second tier.

Bristol City’s predicted lineup

Wells, Mehmeti, Weimann, Sykes, King, Scott, Dasilva, Pring, Vyner, Tanner and O'Leary
