Sunderland v Luton Town Odds and Match Preview

Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Wednesday 12th February 2025

Promotion hopefuls Sunderland will aim to extend their unbeaten Championship run to eight games tonight when they entertain a Luton Town outfit which are struggling at the bottom end of the division.

In the mix

Sunderland remain in the mix for promotion to the Premier League, the Black Cats currently sitting in fourth position in the league standings after 31 rounds of fixtures. Since losing 1-0 to Stoke City in late December, the Wearside outfit have gone seven matches without defeat in the Championship. Having conceded twice in their last three, the Black Cats will look to keep things tighter at the back when they face Luton Town, the Hatters being the lowest scorers in the division.

Man in charge

Matt Bloomfield is the man in charge at Luton Town and he is still in search of his first win with the club, his new charges having collected just two points from his first four games in the hot-seat, a goal-less draw with Preston North End being followed by back-to-back defeats to Oxford United and Blackburn Rovers along with a 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday in their last outing.

Recent Form

Sunderland: Currently 4th in the Championship, Sunderland have been unbeaten since their 1-0 loss to Stoke City at the end of December. They’ve scored seven goals in their last three games but have also conceded six, highlighting both their attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities.
Luton Town: Sitting 23rd in the league, Luton are without a win since December 20th. Their struggles have been evident, but they will be eager to turn their fortunes around.

Team News

Sunderland: Midfielder Jobe Bellingham is set to return after missing the Watford draw due to a slight ankle injury. Defender Dennis Cirkin scored a late equalizer against Watford, showcasing his offensive contributions from the back. However, new signing Jayden Danns is sidelined due to a back issue discovered during his medical.
Luton Town: The Hatters’ last visit to the Stadium of Light was during the play-off semi-final nearly two years ago. They return in a different position, battling relegation, and will be keen to secure a positive result.

All things considered, it’s hard to see past a Sunderland win here. The Black Cats have been enjoying an excellent season thus far and with Luton Town struggling in the lower reaches of the division, we envisage a relatively convincing win for the hosts tonight.
