Luton Town vs Wigan Athletic Prediction

Luton Town's home form has been far from encouraging and Nathan Jones' side need to improve in front of their fans if they are to match their playoff standards from last season.

Wigan Athletic's return to the EFL Championship has been marked by a strong run on the road and compact defending. We are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Luton Town 1-1 Wigan Athletic
