Luton Town and Watford are back in action on Saturday (April 1) when they lock horns at Kenilworth Road in round 39 of the EFL Championship. The hosts head into the weekend looking to get over the Hornets, having registered a 4-0 thrashing in October’s reverse.
Luton were denied a fourth consecutive victory before the international break, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland. The Hatters have now gone six games without defeat, winning four, since a 1-0 loss to Burnley in February. With 64 points from 38 games, Luton are fourth in the Championship , seven points above Norwich City just outside the playoff spot.
Meanwhile, Watford were denied consecutive wins for the first time this year, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Wigan Athletic last time out. That followed a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Birmingham City on March 14, which snapped their three-game winless run.
With 55 points from 38 games, Watford are tenth in the league, level on points with ninth-placed West Bromwich Albion.

Luton Town vs Watford Prediction
Luton Town turned a corner since the start of the year and have risen to the upper echelons of the standings.
While Watford will look to make a late charge for the playoffs, they have struggled to grind out results away from home. Luton are on a run of back-to-back home wins and should edge out the Hornets.
