Betting suggestion:

This should be a very balanced match from the beginning to the end, since the two teams have competent players at different sectors of the match. Even so, and even playing away from home, Reading has all the conditions to advance in the FA Cup, however, on the other side is a strong team on the counterattack. Having said that and taking into account also the fragile defensive sectors, betting in favor of goals in both sides in this match is the best option.

Preview
Luton Town and Reading meet at Kenilworth Road, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 26‑12‑2020, and ended in a (2‑1) win by Reading.

Analysis Luton

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home win against Bristol City by (2‑1). In the last 10 home matches Luton Town has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 21 of the last 24 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Luton Town comes for this match after a 2-1 victory against Bristol City, returning to triumphs after three consecutive games without winning in official matches: the goals of the team were scored by Glen Rea and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. It should be noted that the home team remains in 14th position in the second English division. The coach Nathan Jones should play in the usual 4-4-2, prioritizing defensive organization and successive counterattacks, making the best use of space in the opponent's defensive line. The striker James Collins is the best finisher in Luton Town with 9 goals scored. For this match the coach does not have James Bree due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Simon Sluga, Daniel Potts, Brendon Galloway, James Bree, Gabriel Osho, George Moncur, Ryan Tunnicliffe, Joe Morrell, Elliott Lee, Sam Nombe, Danny Hylton.

Analysis Reading

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. In their last match, for the Championship, they got an away win against Huddersfield Town by (1‑2). In the last 10 away matches Reading has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Reading comes for this match after a victory, by 1-2, on the trip to Huddersfield, adding the third straight game without losing in official matches: the team's goals were scored by Lucas João. Currently the visitors continue in 5th position in the second English division. In this match against Luton Town, the coach Veljko Paunovic is expected to play in the usual 4-3-3, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, always with John Swift creating and organizing the offensive process. Out of this game due to physical problems are Liam Moore, Lewis Gibson, Yakou Meite, Andy Yiadom, George Puscas and Felipe Araruna.

Confirmed Lineup: Luke Southwood, Tom McIntyre, Tomás Esteves, Jeriel Dorsett, Michael Olise, Oli Pendlebury, Ethan Bristow, Jayden Onen, Alfa Semedo, Sone Aluko, Sam Baldock.
