Luton Town registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Sheff Wed

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home draw against Birmingham City by (1‑1). Sheffield Wednesday has won 2, tied 5 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 15 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 21 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Sheffield Wednesday is a team that has won the Premier League four times throughout its history, as well as having five Championship and three FA Cup titles. The team has been making an irregular campaign in the Championship in the current season, having won 32 of the 78 points played so far, thus being in the middle of the table, relatively distant from the relegation zone. In three of the last five Sheffield Wednesday home matches were scored more than 1.5 goals by the teams. We believe that in this clash Sheffield Wednesday will maintain that standard and perform another busy game.

In four of the last five games that Luton Town played away from home, counting more than one competition, were scored more than 1.5 goals by the teams. We believe that in this match Luton will have chances to score goals and will make another busy game.
