Luton Town return to League One for the first time since 2019 following back-to-back relegations. They host newly promoted AFC Wimbledon, who earned their spot via the League Two play-offs. Both sides are aiming to re-establish themselves with a strong start to the new campaign.

Despite their relegation, Luton’s numbers last season were mid-table quality. They ranked 14th in expected points and had one of the Championship’s best home defensive records. With new manager Matt Bloomfield and six key signings including Naismith, Saville, and Wells, the Hatters look well-equipped for a bounce-back.

Wimbledon arrive with confidence after posting League Two’s best defence and a top-three expected points tally. However, their attack remains a concern with Matty Stevens struggling late last season. The visitors will rely on structure and discipline to frustrate Luton’s superior squad.

Mark McGuinness is a key threat from set-pieces, recording 47 shots and 3.6 xG last season. With Wimbledon’s low block inviting pressure, he’s well-placed for 2+ shots or 1+ on target.
