Luton Town v Hull City

  • Published

Luton welcome fellow Championship strugglers Hull City to Kenilworth Road on Saturday for a vital clash between two sides tied on 15 points and only above the drop zone on goal difference.

The Hatters have lost five of their last nine games (W2 D2), including a 5-1 thrashing at Middlesbrough last time out, while the Tigers are winless in seven (D3 L4) following a 2-1 defeat at home to West Brom before the international break.

  • Luton Town are unbeaten across their last five league games against Hull City (W4 D1), keeping four clean sheets during that stint.

  • Hull City have lost just one of their last five away league games against Luton (W3 D1), with each of those victories seeing the Tigers score 2+ goals in the process.

  • Luton have lost 20 league games in 2024, their most in a calendar year since they lost 21 games back in 2015.

  • Hull are winless in their last seven league games (D3 L4), losing each of the last two games. The Tigers haven't lost three in a row since a run of five in August/September 2022.

  • Luton's Alfie Doughty has created the most chances in the Championship this season (45) and has amassed 69 successful crosses – 39 more than anyone else.
