Luton Town welcome Sunderland to Kenilworth Road in the second leg of the EFL Championship playoffs on Tuesday (May 16). Sunderland won 2-1 at home in the first leg on Saturday at the Stadium of Light. Luton opened the scoring with Elijah Adebayo’s 11th-minute strike. Sunderland equalised via on-loan striker Amad Diallo’s 39th-minute goal before defender Trai Hume scored the decisive goal in the second half to complete the comeback.
Luton, meanwhile, were eliminated from the semifinals of the playoffs last season but will look to fare better this time. They returned to the Championship after four seasons in League One, so earning a place in the Premier League will be a significant achievement.

Luton Town vs Sunderland Prediction
The Hatters have just one win against Sunderland in 11 games (since 1990). At home, they have fared slightly better, going unbeaten in three games. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games.
The Black Cats, meanwhile, are unbeaten in ten league games and have won their last three away outiings on the spin. They have outscored Luton 68-57 in the league this season.
They have a slender aggregate advantage, and four of their last five meetings with Luton have ended in 1-1 draws. The two teams look evenly matched in terms of form, we expect another low-scoring draw.

Luton Town vs Sunderland Odds
We say: Luton Town 1-1 Sunderland (Sunderland win 3-2 on aggregate)
Even when a spate of serious injuries have threatened to derail their promotion charge, Sunderland have overcome adversity time and time again, thanks in no small part to their well-documented staunch defence on the road.
Replicating their first-leg success at Kenilworth Road should a step too far for the decimated Black Cats, especially taking into account Luton’s achievements on their own patch, but yet another low-scoring draw between the two sides would be sufficient to send Sunderland to Wembley and force Luton to rue what could have been once more.
