The Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Luton Town host Cardiff City at Kenilworth Road on Wednesday. The Bluebirds have lost their last three meetings in the fixture.
Midfielder Tahith Chong netted his second league goal of the season to hand Luton a 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion at Kenilworth Road on Saturday. The Hatters have one win in seven matches, losing four, since picking up back-to-back victories over Millwall and Sheffield United in September.
Luton have picked up 12 points from 13 matches to sit 21st in the Championship, just three points and as many places above rock-bottom Portsmouth.
Trending
Cardiff, meanwhile, continued their surge from the bottom half of the table with a 2-1 victory over Norwich City at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday. The Bluebirds have gone six matches without defeat, claiming four wins, having lost five matches across competitions before this run.
Thus upturn in form has seen Cardiff rise to 17th in the table, and they could move level on 18 points with 10th-placed Norwich City with a win.

Luton Town vs Cardiff City Prediction
While Luton will look to build on their hard-earned point against West Brom, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a well-drilled Cardiff side who are unbeaten in six matches.
However, Cardiff’s form on the road should give the Hatters optimism heading into the clash, so expect them to come away with a narrow home win.
