Luton vs Sheffield United odds
LUTON VS SHEFFIELD UNITED
Both of these sides were tipped to be relegated come the end of the season, and while they could still be the case, Luton are definitely putting up a fight. The Hatters have moved out of the relegation zone in recent weeks, sitting one point clear of 18th-placed Everton with a game in hand. The boost has come thanks to Luton’s run of three wins from their past six games, with two draws and one defeat. Since that defeat at the end of 2023, it’s been three unbeaten for Luton, drawing with Burnley and Newcastle either side of their 4-0 thumping of Brighton.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, look destined for the Championship. The Blades are 10 points behind Luton with just 10 points from their opening 23 games. Since beating Brentford in December, Sheffield United have gone winless in their past seven, losing five including the reverse fixture to Luton. A change in manager from Paul Heckingbottom to Chris Wilder at the start of December hasn’t been able to stop the rot so far.
