‘Pressure will mount’ – Luton Town vs Watford prediction: The72

Luton Town were defeated 2-0 away to Sheffield United last time out. They were demoted from the Premier League earlier this year, finishing in the bottom three alongside the Blades and Burnley.
The Hatters have made a sluggish start to the new season, sitting 21st in the Championship table. They’ve won only two of their first nine games and are just one point above the relegation zone.

Rob Edwards’ team must improve quickly if they are to meet their goal of returning to the top division right away.
Watford, on the other hand, has performed admirably thus far this season under Tom Cleverley’s leadership. The Hornets defeated Middlesbrough 2-1 at home in their most recent match.

They are sixth and one point ahead of Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers in the play-offs, and they hope to maintain their momentum with more solid performances in the coming weeks and months.

Here are some of our writers’ predictions for the game.

Harry Mail

“Luton Town have been poor on the whole so far this term and they need to start picking up more points or pressure will mount on Edwards.”The upcoming game against Watford is a great opportunity to kickstart their season.However, the Hornets will be difficult opponents, and they have been a dangerous squad to play against thus far. They might create problems for the Hatters.

“Cleverley’s men will be in confident mood after they saw off Middlesbrough before the international break and I can see them getting a win in Bedfordshire.”

Prediction: Luton Town 1–2 Watford.

James Ray

“This is an important game for Rob Edwards. He’ll face former employers and opponents as he seeks to regain form with Luton Town, who have struggled since their relegation to the Championship.

“Watford are also a very tough opponent. They’ve started brightly in Cleverley’s first full season, but they’ve struggled to find form away from Vicarage Road, losing the previous three games in a row.

“That might put the Hatters on the route to a big win, but I believe the prizes will be shared. I’ll say this ends at 1-1.
