Luton-Huddersfield, England League One
2004-10-16 16.00 CET
Pick: Luton
Stake: 3%
Odds: 1,65
Final reasons
Luton still impresses a lot and we can not see why things should change tomorrow. Huddersfield has some nice results and must be happy with their season so far. However, playing Luton away is a hell of a task and probably they will get their fourth loss on the road tomorrow. We stake 3% on Luton.
General comment about the game
Tomorrow table toppers Luton will face newcomers Huddersfield. Luton is still without a loss this year and at home they have only wins so far. Last match Luton played at home to Hartlepool. Luton did not impress during the first half and the result was 0-0. During the break Luton talked things through and after this they played much better and eventually managed to score three goals in the second half. Luton will miss midfielder Steve Robinson (12 apps, 2 goals) through suspension tomorrow. All other players are available.
Ninth placed Huddersfield is a newcomer in League One this season. After a slow start Huddersfield has played better and managed some good results, such as a 3-0 win away to Port Vale. Huddersfield has been nearly as good on the road as at home so far. On the road they have lost three out of six games and at home they have two defeats. Huddersfield has not yet played away against any of the top teams in the league so far, meaning that their fairly good away record has come when facing average or bottom sides. Last round they played away to Torquay and although being up 1-0 they lost 2-1 after some defensive mistakes. The result was very fair since Torquay was the better side during the most part of the game. And although Huddersfield taking the lead it was Torquay who was the better side also up to this moment. Huddersfield will of course be satisfied with a draw tomorrow and if this is to be fulfilled they have to avoid mistakes in the defensive work. However, since these defensive errors have appeared every now and then during the season it does not feel safe when playing the best side in the league. Huddersfield has midfielder Danny Schofield (6(3) apps, 1 goal) suspended while defender David Mirfin (12 apps) is doubtful.
