Luton have scored and conceded 17 each, which tells you they're involved in open, even games rather than tight defensive ones. Doncaster's numbers are lower across the board, with 10 scored and 11 against, suggesting fewer goals when they're on the pitch.

Neither side has any real cushion in the table, so there's not much to separate them on points or form.

Comparative Team Statistics: Luton vs Doncaster

Doncaster:

Penalty cards:

J. Senior x 4

Cards have been a feature too. Doncaster's J. Senior has picked up four yellows in seven games, while Luton's L. Walsh has three in the same number. H. Ashby has one yellow from six appearances, a lighter load by comparison.

Wells looks like the player most likely to influence the scoreline if Luton create chances.

What this points to

Put the table and the player data together and you get a picture of two struggling sides who are fairly evenly matched. Luton's extra goals scored and conceded suggest a more open approach, and with Wells leading the line that could mean chances at both ends.

The card counts for Senior and Walsh also hint at a scrappy, physical edge creeping into games for both clubs this season. That's worth bearing in mind for a fixture between two teams fighting for the same points.
