Preview & Prediction: Luton Town FC vs Watford FC

The upcoming matchup between Luton Town and Watford is going to be a close one. While Luton Town won the last game against Watford, the latter has a better overall record, winning two out of the three previous games between them. Both teams are performing at an average level, with Luton Town having a slightly better home record than Watford’s away record. In their previous meetings, there have been an average of 2 goals per game, and BTTS has occurred 0% of the time.

Based on their current performance, Luton Town may have a slight edge with an average of 1.53 Points Per Game at home matches, compared to Watford’s 1.16 Points Per Game at away matches. Overall, however, it is difficult to predict which team will come out on top in this match.

Watford Teenage defender Mattie Pollock had a fantastic weekend for loan club Aberdeen, as numerous Hornets continue to impress at the latter end of the 2022/23 season.

The 21-year-old was the star of the show at Pittodrie on Saturday (March 18), as the Dons came to within four points of third place in the Scottish Premiership with a 3-0 victory against Hearts, scoring the winner in the 28th minute after assisting for Lus ‘Duk’ Lopes’ second goal.

Since moving to Canada in January, Pollock has made six appearances. The headed strike was his first in that span, and he dedicated it to his late Auntie Sue while playing full-time. Vakoun Bayo participated for the full 90 minutes of RSC Charleroi’s 1-0 victory over Royal Antwerp in the Jupiler Pro League on Sunday, March 19, as the Zebras made up for their previous loss. With five games left, Charleroi is presently ninth in the rankings.

In the English National League, rising star Shaq Forde played the full 90 minutes as York City defeated Dorking Wanderers 2-1 after scoring on the previous Tuesday (March 14) at home in a loss to Altrincham (March 18).

While that victory increased the 18th-placed Minstermen’s chances of surviving, further up the standings, JJ McKiernan and Eastleigh improved their play-off prospects by defeating Altrincham 3-2 on Saturday (March 18), four days after suffering a 3-1 loss at high-flying Notts County (March 14).

During the weekend, Salernitana held Bologna to a 2-2 draw in the Italian Serie A, while Huddersfield Town claimed a key 1-0 victory against Millwall in the English Sky Bet Championship, both without William Troost-Ekong and Joseph Hungbo (both March 18).

In other matches, Bogdan Marian played for 70 minutes as AFC Rushden & Diamonds suffered a late 1-0 loss at Redditch United in the Southern League Premier Central, while Damani Hunter limped off after just eight minutes of Grays Athletic’s 2-1 victory over Lowestoft Town in the Isthmian League North Division (both March 18).
