Luton Town - Cardiff City predictions

Though Luton Town are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The matchup this Wednesday is rather one-sided, with Cardiff City seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.33, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Talking about Luton Town’s previous Championship game, there will be little to brag about. It was a tough game for the hosts who fell behind after the first half and were pushed to their limit in an effort to get back in the game. Ultimately, a West Bromwich Albion point is bigger than it seems.

The previous Championship match Cardiff played was at home, and it was a very close showdown against Norwich City. The two teams struggled to gain a clear lead for most of the game’s runtime. Despite relatively unfavourable betting odds, though, the final outcome was a 2:1 home win.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Luton Town have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Cardiff have scored 9 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Reece Burke, Tom Lockyer, Amari Bell, Mads Juel Andersen, Teden Mengi, Shandon Baptiste, Reuell Walters for the hosts, and Joe Ralls, Callum Robinson, Ryotaro Tsunoda for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.99.
