History of the Luton Town v Swindon Town fixture

Luton Town prepare to entertain Swindon Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hatters are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 6 of the 32 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Kenilworth Road was less than a year ago, in April 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a League Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Luton Town may be coming up against a decent side in Swindon Town, but I do believe that its going to result in a narrow home win for the The Hatters. Home Win

Sequence statistics:
Luton TownWon 3 successive home games.
4 games since last home draw.
Not drawn a match in their last 6 .
Swindon TownPrevious 2 away games have finished all-square.
Not won in previous 2 away matches.
No win in the 2 most recent games.

Team News - Chris Coyne and Kevin Foley are both back in contention for the Swindon match after missing the 5-0 victory over Bristol City. They are likely to come straight back into the side with Keith Keane and Russ Perrett making way.
