Luton are without 4 — Jordan Clark (Out), Shandon Baptiste (Out), Jayden Luker (Out), Shayden Morris (Out). Losing Jordan Clark (~7.20/10) is the kind of absence that moves a price.
Stockport County are without 2 — Ryan Rydel (Doubtful), Brad Hills (Doubtful).
The read: With barely anything between them on price, this is one to leave alone in the 1X2 market and attack in the goals or handicap markets instead. The late money is pointing the same way.
