Luton - Huddersfield: tip, prognosis & odds - 05/13/2022 - ENGLAND: Championship - Final round
 
 
Luton Town sat down in the regular season on the 6th place in the table and thus reached the playoffs as the last team. Huddersfield, on the other hand, ended the season in 3rd place and is therefore the slight favorite in this duel. Luton Town need to create a good starting position at home

Two out of three teams have already been promoted from the Championship to the Premier League. The last climber will now be determined in the promotion playoffs. Also in the middle are Luton and Huddersfield, who meet in the first semi-final on Friday night. In the first leg, the Hatters from Luton benefit from home advantage and are marginally favored.

However, betting on a home win involves a lot of risk. In the first and second half of the regular season, Luton failed miserably against Huddersfield Town's defensive bulwark. In both matches, the team of head coach Nathan Jones remained without a goal. It is quite possible that Luton's offensive will bite its teeth again this time.

Luton :Stats & current form
 
Luton has been one of the positive surprises of the current season so far and deservedly qualified for the promotion playoffs. Sixth in the championship, Luton caught a hammerless semi-final and already meets the in-form guests from Huddersfield on Friday evening.

Luton has not won a single competitive game against their semi-final opponent since July 2020. In the last four matches, Luton is 0-3-1 against Huddersfield, with the only loss coming in the second half of the current season. It was also the second straight game in which Luton missed a goal against Huddersfield.

At least the home advantage at Kenilworth Road is encouraging. The Hatters were already one of the strongest teams at home in the championship in the regular season and have only lost four of a total of 23 home games. Most recently, Luton went unbeaten five times in a row in their own stadium.

It is therefore obvious to predict a low-scoring encounter in Luton vs. Huddersfield. Bets on it already pay off in the first and second round game between the two clubs. The last match at Kenilworth Road even ended in a goalless draw.

Head coach Nathan Jones is still without Mpanzu and Adebayo for Friday's game against the Terriers. The latter was the top scoring player in the Hatters' ranks with 16 goals in the regular season. There are no further failures in the ranks of Luton to complain about.

How does Luton Town sell in its own stadium?
 
Although they only take 9th place in the home table, the record of 12 wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats is still impressive. With only 22 goals conceded, the defensive also knows how to convince, after all, you concede less than 1.00 goals per home game. The team conceded more than one goal only 6 times. The development also points in the right direction, because in the last 3 home games they conceded only one goal. They have been unbeaten for 5 home games, 3 of which they have won.

Huddersfield: Stats & Current Form
 
Huddersfield are on course for the Premier League and are one of the big favorites in the playoffs. Already in the regular season, the Terriers got a taste of promotion. In the meantime, the direct promotion place was even within reach. Because Huddersfield partially stumbled in the second half of the season, the jump to the direct promotion place was missed.

In the playoffs there is now the next attempt of the Terriers. Ahead of Friday's game against Luton, Huddersfield have regained their regular-season confidence and, given their recent form, are going into the semi-final first leg in excellent shape. Huddersfield has won six of the last seven matches in the championship.
 
Free soccer predictions
 
Most recently there were even four wins in a row. Huddersfield scored two goals in each of the four matches, and coach Carlos Corberán's team kept a clean sheet twice during this period. If the recent winning streak is continued, it cannot be ruled out that Huddersfield will also master the hurdle at Kenilworth Road.

However, Huddersfield has not won a single match against Friday's opponents at Kenilworth Road since May 2008. In the last three away games there was a defeat and two points shared. With another draw, Huddersfield would certainly set the course for the finals.

Head coach Corberán has no absentees to complain about in Friday's game in Luton and starts with the best squad. Big changes compared to the last starting eleven are not to be expected, true to the motto "never change a winning team".

The final of the playoffs will be played at Wembley Stadium, but before that there are the semi-finals between the 3rd and 6th tables. This year these are Huddersfield Town and Luton Town. The hosts have not made it into the Premier League since 1992. Having only been promoted to the Championship 3 years ago, it could be historic for them. Huddersfield Town is also having a surprisingly good season. 2 years in a row they fought for the league in the championship. This year, on the other hand, they made it to 3rd place and are therefore also the slight favorite in the duel against Luton Town. This game kicks off at 8:45 p.m.

LUTON TOWN'S BALANCE SHEET
 
6th place | 46 games | 21 wins | 12 draw | 13 defeats | 63:55 Goals | 75 points
 
Free soccer picks
 
Luton Town is only in its 3rd season in the English Championship. In the last two years it was only enough for places 12 and 19. At least some of us probably expected that we would have such a strong season this year. With 75 points after 46 games, however, they made it into the playoffs quite confidently in the end. You collected 7 points less than your opponent and conceded 2 defeats more. With 63 hits they are a top 6 offensive. Defensively, however, they could not keep up with the best teams. In this statistic you are not among the top 10 teams.
 

 

Tip and prognosis
 
Luton Town, like their opponent, is surprisingly in the playoffs. Over the last few weeks, however, Huddersfield has made a much more stable impression. We would therefore recommend a Double Chance X/2 bet. What we also consider suitable is a tip for less than 2.5 goals. Luton Town in particular has improved tremendously defensively in recent weeks. As a risk tip, a draw is not excluded. After all, Huddersfield do not necessarily need a win and would probably be satisfied with a draw.
