History of the Luton Town v Cardiff City fixture

Cardiff City pack their bags to visit Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 3 of the 26 games.

The previous match played between the two at Kenilworth Road was more than three years back, in December 2002, with Luton Town running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. A generous 13 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Bluebirds have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Luton Town's 44 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Cardiff City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola Championship, picking up 48 from their 33 games so far.
