While you are glued to the Champions League, two clubs who are separated by just 15 miles face off as Stevenage welcome Luton Town to the SPORTA Arena on Thursday night. Stevenage come into this game full of momentum following an emphatic 5-1 victory over Barnsley in South Yorkshire, where they came from behind to claim all three points. Luton, on the other hand, conceded five on their last away trip when they were hammered by Mansfield Town in August, however they quickly put that result behind them a few days later when they beat Stockport County 2-0, with veteran striker Nahki Wells getting his fourth goal of the season, one less than he scored throughout the entirety of last season. Stevenage will be boosted by the recent arrivals of Tugra Turhan and Matt Smith, with Turhan, a striker, joining on loan from Istanbul Basaksehir while Matt Smith joined following his release from Wigan Athletic at the end of last season, where he agonisingly made 99 appearances which has slightly ruined my mood to be honest. Luton have also brought in some new additions, including Ipswich loanee Tudor Mendel, who made his debut off the bench in the Hatters' 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient last Saturday. When these sides have met historically, the home side usually come out on top. In fact, the last time an away side won this fixture was all the way back in March 2017, when Stevenage ran out 2-0 winners at Kenilworth Road. However, Luton put seven past them the next time they met in October later that year. When these two played each other last season, it ended in a 2-0 win for Stevenage in Hertfordshire and a 2-1 win for Luton in Bedfordshire. I always enjoy games this early into this season because you have no idea what to expect at all.
