Watford vs Luton predictions: Goals on the cards at Vicarage Road
&w=707&quality=100)
- Watford are only four points off the top six
- Luton remain rooted to the foot of the Championship table
- Recommended bet: Both teams to score
Watford will look to get their play-off push back on track when they welcome rock-bottom Luton to Vicarage Road in Sunday's Championship encounter.
The Hornets are four points and three places outside the play-offs, but that should change come kick-off, with most of their rivals in action on Saturday.
Luton could climb out of the bottom three with a win if results go their way, but the Hatters are in dire form of late and need to find a spark.
Team News
Watford goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann is still sidelined with an ankle injury and is not expected to return until April.
Kwadwo Baah is also out, with the Hornets striker struggling with a thigh issue.
Luton remain without defenders Reece Burke, Tom Lockyer and Teden Mengi, while Tahith Chong is also set to miss out.
The stats
Watford have the seventh best home record in the Championship, but they are without a win in five at Vicarage Road.
Tom Cleverley's side have lost five on the spin in front of their own fans, but they will view Sunday's match as a chance to get back to winning ways.
Luton have only taken three points from their last 11 Championship matches and they have lost 12 of their previous 13 games away from home.
The Hatters have the joint-worst away record in the division alongside fellow strugglers Plymouth.
Prediction
Points have been hard to come by for both Watford and Luton and Sunday's game may not be of the highest quality.
The Hornets have lost their rhythm and will view Sunday's game as the perfect chance to get back to winning ways, but their recent home form means it is hard to back them.
Luton's away form suggests they will struggle, but they have scored in four of their last five on the road. Matt Bloomfield's men have scored against Swansea, QPR, Oxford and Sheffield Wednesday in recent weeks, only failing to score against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Both teams are desperate for all three points and will look to get on the front foot and, while the quality may be lacking, both sides should be able to find the net.
Luton ran out 3-0 winners in October and, while they will struggle to keep a clean sheet, they will take confidence from the fact that their hosts have conceded 13 goals in seven home games.
