PREVIEW AND ODDS ANALYSIS FOR SUNDERLAND VS LUTON TOWN

Sunderland will host Luton Town in the first leg of the playoff round to compete for promotion to the English Football League Championship. The second leg will be played four days later on Luton Town's home ground.

After the 46-match qualifying round, Sunderland finished in sixth place with 69 points, tied with Blackburn Rovers but with a better goal difference, and secured the final playoff spot. Meanwhile, Luton Town finished third with 80 points but were 11 points behind runners-up Sheffield United.

However, Sunderland's form towards the end of the season was quite good, with an unbeaten streak of 9 games. Nevertheless, the team has only won 1, drawn 4 of their last 5 home games.

Meanwhile, Luton Town has been playing even better with a 14-game unbeaten run until now. However, their away record is similar to that of their opponents, with only 1 win and 4 draws in their last 5 away games.

• Asian Handicap Odds: 0:0

Playing the first leg at home, Sunderland is still considered the favorite, but the handicap odds are only +0 with little difference in the odds.

It is worth noting that in all four previous encounters between the two teams in the last two seasons, the results have been a draw. Clearly, even though playing at home, Sunderland will not dare to risk an all-out attack, especially as the team is not in its best form here.

Meanwhile, Luton Town is also hard to beat even when playing away, so it is very likely that the two teams will draw again in this encounter and the ticket to the next round will only be decided in the second leg.

Prediction: Draw

• Over/Under Odds: 2 1/4

The over/under odds are relatively low at 2 1/4. Clearly, both teams have had poor attacking performance in recent matches, but their defenses have been solid. Along with the importance of the playoff match, neither team wants to lose in the first leg. Therefore, this is likely to be a low-scoring match.

Prediction: Under

Score Prediction: Sunderland 0-0 Luton Town

Asian Handicap: Draw

Over/Under Odds: Under
