The eagerly awaited 2019/2020 domestic football season kicks off tonight with the now traditional Friday night live Championship game between promoted Luton and Middlesbrough, who just missed out on the play-offs by one-point last season. This is the first time the two clubs have met in the modern era; Luton will hope to continue their rival and establish themselves in the Championship this season while Boro will be under pressure from fans to at least make the play-offs this season.

Matches at Kenilworth Road produced loads of goals last season while Boro were difficult to score against and beat last season, only losing thirteen games. Boro will no doubt aim to contain Luton tonight and limit their attacking options and will be happy to leave with a point tonight.
