Coventry City will welcome Luton Town to the St Andrew Trillion Stadium on Tuesday, with three points at stake in the EFL Championship.

The hosts come into this clash on the back of a 3-1 home win over Rotherham United, and this win helped send them clear of the relegation zone, while Luton Town fell to a 2-0 reversal away to Swansea City.

That defeat saw the visitors drop down into 12th spot, with 22 points earned from 16 games, while Coventry City are seven places below in 19th.

Coventry City vs Luton Town Prediction

Coventry City have punched above their weight since their promotion to the Championship. They have been particularly strong at home, where they have won four and drawn two of eight games on their turf.

This strong home form, coupled with the absence of several key first-team players for the visitors, should see Mark Robins' side register a narrow victory.

Prediction: Coventry City 1-0 Luton Town
