Luton Town will host Cardiff City at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, 23rd August, in what promises to be an intriguing League One clash. Luton comes into this match with a mixed bag of results, having won two of their last five matches, while Cardiff boasts a strong recent form, with four wins in their last five outings. Historically, Cardiff has dominated this fixture, winning seven of the last ten encounters, including the last three at Luton.
