It's 27 years since Luton Town were in the top flight of English football. They host Huddersfield Town in the first leg of the Championship promotion play-offs. The winner of this tie meets either Sheffield United or Nottingham Forest in the Wembley final. Since being relegated in 1995, Luton have gone all the way down to non-league football and then all the way back up to the Championship. A 1-0 home win over Reading in their final fixture of the regular season saw their place in the play-offs confirmed. Luton won 12 home league games and only five sides conceded less goals than them in the Championship. They come into this game unbeaten in their last five home Championship games with just one defeat in 13. They did well to win against Reading considering their previous match had seen them lose 7-0 at promoted Fulham.
Huddersfield Town are in their third season in the Championship since being relegated from the Premier League. The two previous seasons had seen them finish 18th and 20th. It's been a much better campaign this time around though. Huddersfield finished third in the table six points behind second placed Bournemouth. They had a strong second half to the season and a form guide for the last 25 league games has them top of the table. Huddersfield ended the season with four wins in a row. Each of their last three away games has been won but of the last four played, three have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Their away record has been impressive with ten wins and only Fulham conceded less than them on the road. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
