THE PREDICTION
Pride and passion will on display in bucketloads at Kenilworth Road as these two fierce rivals clash in a match that means so much to both sets of supporters. Second-placed Watford currently hold a seven-point lead between themselves and third-placed Swansea and know victory here will see them edge closer to a Premier League return. However, Luton will be desperate to put a dent in their aspirations. As you’d expect in a local derby, tensions are expected to be high and both teams are likely to enter this one with a cautious mindset, each well aware of the ramifications that losing such a match would bring. Therefore, under 2.5 goals score over 90 minutes is expected as was the case in the reverse fixture at Vicarage Road.
