Luton Town have struggled defensively of late, resulting in a run of low-scoring games.
Injuries in the back line in particular have forced manager Rob Edwards to call on inexperienced players, which could lead to a more defensive style of play.

Schalke have had mixed results in recent matches, including a 3:1 defeat against Nuremberg.
The team has potential, but shows weaknesses, especially in the early stages of games.

Aalen have shown in the past that they can often deliver hard-fought first halves at home in cup games, even against stronger opponents.
Their defensive approach could make it difficult for Schalke to break through early in the game.

Schalke have not always been convincing in away games and have struggled to take the lead against defensively strong teams like Aalen in the past.
This could give Aalen a good chance to keep the game close or even take the lead.

Schalke have often conceded early goals in recent games.
If Aalen exploit this weakness, they could at least draw at half-time.

Huddersfield have won their last two games without conceding a goal, including a convincing 2-0 away win against Peterborough.
This points to a strong defensive and offensive performance.

Huddersfield play at home at the John Smith’s Stadium, where they have done well in the past.
They have won four and drawn two of their last eight home games, underlining their home advantage.

Stevenage have not won in their last eight away games and often struggle to score away from home.
This could give Huddersfield extra chances to dominate the game.

Huddersfield have a well-rounded squad that is capable of fighting for promotion in the league.
Their recent transfers and the key players in the team are an additional advantage over Stevenage.

Burnley started the new season with an impressive 4-1 win over Luton Town.
They put in a dominant performance and proved that they are capable of scoring plenty of goals even against strong opponents.
This win should give them a lot of confidence for the upcoming home game.

In their last season in the Championship, Burnley were almost invincible at home, winning 16 of their 23 games and conceding just 15 goals all season.
This home strength could be crucial in beating Cardiff by a significant margin.

Cardiff had a disappointing start to the season with a 2-0 defeat to Sunderland.
They also struggled in away games last season, making them vulnerable against a strong Burnley side.

Burnley have a strong attacking department with players like Josh Brownhill and Wilson Odobert capable of deciding games.
Their squad quality and depth give them a clear advantage over Cardiff.
