- Competition: Championship
- Date: Wednesday,12th February 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Stadium of Light (Sunderland)
Since losing the Premier League status in 2017, Sunderland hit the bottom. They even played four years in League One, but right now, the team from Stadium of Light is a strong candidate for a return to the best English league. Currently, Sunderland are in the promotion playoff zone with seven points fewer than the league leader, Leeds. Sunderland haven't impressed lately, with only two wins in the last six matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 at home against Watford. The home side was the significant favorite to win but was in all sorts of trouble. Eventually, Dennis Cirkin scored an equalizer late in the game and salvaged the point for Sunderland.
Last season, Luton was part of the Premier League, but after relegation to the Championship, it is possible they will play in the third level of English football next season. Luton collected only 27 points in 30 matches, which is two points behind safety. Luton are in a terrible run of nine games without a victory (seven losses). In the previous game, they played 1-1 on the road against Sheffield Wednesday. The home side finished the match with an xG of 2.43, while the guests had 0.36, so Luton can be very happy for taking one point.
Sunderland vs Luton pick: Sunderland to win
Sunderland haven't impressed lately, but the game against Luton is a good opportunity to secure three important points. Luton have a 1-2-12 record away from home and will have big problems at the Stadium of Light.

Luton team news
Most Luton players are available for the game at the Stadium of Light. Tom Lockyer and Teden Mengi are the only ones who will surely skip the upcoming tie. Also, Tahith Chong is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
