Sheffield Wednesday take on Luton Town in the 30th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two teams are in opposite halves of the points table.
Danny Rohl's Sheffield are coming off a 2-0 win at Queens Park Rangers last weekend. Following a goalless first period at Loftus Road, the Owls opened the scoring through Michael Smith 18 minutes from time.
Callum Peterson confirmed the three points in the 88th minute as Rohl's side returned to winning ways after three matches, losing one. Sheffield are 10th in the standings, with 41 points from 29 games, winning 11.
Meanwhile, Matt Bllomfield's Luton are fresh off a 1-0 home loss to Millwall a week ago. Mihailo Ivanovic's strike just past the hour mark proved to be the difference between the two teams at Kenilworth Road.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Luton Town prediction
The two sides have had contrasting campaigns, especially Luton, who look destined for the drop after struggling to get going all season.
In terms of head-to-head, Sheffield hold a slender advantage, but recent meetings have been dominated by Luton. However, considering their abysmal form on the road this campaign, Sheffield will fancy their chances.
The Hatters haven't won in 12 games away from home since a 1-0 victory at Millwall in September last year on matchday four. Hence, we expect a narrow win for Sheffield as they look to move up the standings.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Luton Town
