• Luton last 5: DWWWD averaging 2.1 goals scored / 1.3 conceded; Rotherham last 5: WLLLD averaging 0.5 goals scored / 1.8 conceded
• Intel: Rotherham manager Lee Clark publicly cited 'concerning situation' with players excusing themselves from the Wigan relegation match
• Luton arrive on a high after winning Vertu Trophy 3-1 vs Stockport at Wembley on April 12

The read

Combining motivation collapse, weak Rotherham scoring output and a H2H without a Rotherham win heavily caps the home-win probability.

• H2H last 5: 0 Rotherham wins, 2 Luton wins, 3 draws — Rotherham have not beaten Luton in this sample
• Rotherham scored just 0.5 goals/match across last 5 with one red card; Luton averaged 5.4 shots on target/match

• Rotherham averaged just 0.5 goals per match in last 5 (0 goals in 3 of those 5)
• Rotherham had 1 shot on target vs Stevenage and 0 vs Wigan in last 5 — output collapsing
• Luton conceded 1.3/match in last 5 but kept a clean sheet vs AFC Wimbledon (3-0 away)

• Luton conceded 0 in their most recent away win (3-0 at AFC Wimbledon)
