Cambridge United vs Luton Town Prediction
The Hatters are favorites for the game, although the magic of the FA Cup means that an upset is not entirely out of the question. The home side have not really impressed in recent weeks but their recent victory over Newcastle United could spur them on to register another scalp.
The Hatters' recent ascent in the Championship has been spurred by defensive solidity. We are backing Nathan Jones' side to secure a narrow victory in addition to a clean sheet.
Prediction: Cambridge United 0-1 Luton Town
