Coventry City vs Luton Town betting tips: Championship playoff final preview, predictions and odds
This article provides a preview, odds and recommended bets for the Championship playoff final meeting between Coventry City and Luton Town on May 27th, 2023
This Saturday, May 27th, will see a full season’s worth of action come to a head, in the most highly-anticipated fixture of the Championship campaign.
The matchup in question, of course, will see Coventry City and Luton Town go toe-to-toe at Wembley, for a spot in the top-flight of English football.
Beginning with the former, Coventry are fresh off defying the odds once more, courtesy of a two-legged semi-final downing of Middlesbrough.
After sneaking into the playoff spots courtesy of a late-season surge, the Sky Blues, first, held high-flying Boro to a goalless home stalemate.
And this was followed by another stout defensive display at the Riverside Stadium last time out, ultimately culminating in Gustavo Hamer’s strike just shy of the hour mark proving enough to seal Coventry’s big Wembley day out.
Mark Robins’ troops, now beaten in just one of their last 19 outings, will in turn make the trip to London no doubt brimming with confidence.

This comes with the Hatters having stood tall in the face of adversity, to book their own spot in the playoff showpiece.
In their semi-final opener, Rob Edwards’ men saw an early advantage at the Stadium of Light evaporate, on their way to a concerning 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sunderland.
Owing so much of their success across the campaign’s length to a stellar home record, though, Luton subsequently turned things around at Kenilworth Road, to keep alive what has proven nothing short of a fairytale season.
With a combined two losses across their last 35 fixtures, who, then, will ultimately emerge victorious from ‘the richest game in football’ on Saturday evening?
Your guess is as good as ours, but we at 101, just, are giving the edge to Luton Town.
