Or is it the last one?
Could, come the final whistle, the planets have lined up to see Luton Town earn one of the FOUR EFL League One promotion places available?
All the Hatters can do is win, thereby extending our current unbeaten run that makes Luton Town the form team in the division, and then wait to see how the fates have conspired in the fixtures elsewhere
We face a Bolton Wanderers side that have already secured ONE of those aforementioned places which could result in our hosts adhering to one of the following scenarios:
1 – Resting a few key players ahead of the play-off slog.
2 – Playing their best starting XI available, in order to keep their momentum going.
Looking at the recent form of Bolton Wanderers, over the last 6 games, we find they have accumulated 9 points out of the last 18 available, with a run of results that reads – WDLWDD,
Looking at the form of Luton Town, over a similar period, we find the Hatters have collected 16 points out of the last 18 available, courtesy of a run of results that reads – WWWDWW, pretty impressive stuff.
In the reciprocating fixture, earlier this season, at Kenilworth Road, back on 29-November-2025, the game ended in a 1-1 draw with Gideon Kodua equalising in the 83rd minute to give the Hatters a share of the spoils, in front of a crowd of 11,204.
With the 1500 hours kick-off fast approaching, we are now able to bring you the confirmed team sheets.
Starting with our hosts, Bolton Wanderers:
Team – Bonham, Osei-Tutu, Toal, Forino, Conway, Cissoko, Sheehan, Rodriguez, Cozier-Dewbury, Kenny, Burstow
Substitutes – Harrington, Christie, Simons, Dempsey, Apter, Gale, McMee
Continuing with Luton Town:
Team – Keeley, Jones, Odoffin, Andersen, Naismith, Lawrence, Clark, Walsh, Richards, Palmer, Wells
Substitutes – Shea, Al-Hamadi, Lonjwik, Morris, Saville, Van den Berg, Kodua
As for those officiating look no further:
Referee – Matt Corlett
Assistant Referee – Danny Jarvis
Assistant Referee – Bradley Hall
Fourth Official – Steven Copeland
Can Luton Town grab that win they need to stand a chance of obtaining a play-off place?
Will, if Luton Town win other sides slip up to allow the Hatters to ease into the top six?
Cross your fingers and pray that, this afternoon, Lady Luck is on our side.
