History of the Luton Town v Brighton & Hove Albion fixture

Luton Town play host to Brighton & Hove Albion at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hatters are clearly on top, winning 16 and drawing 7 of the 25 games played.

The last time the two teams met at Luton Town was amazingly over twenty years ago, in September 1982, with Luton Town annihilating their visitors 5-0 in a First Division match.

Luton Town have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 6 to 4.
