Luton Town - Oxford United predictions

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Luton Town are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Oxford United and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.70.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Oxford United are given 5.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Luton Town hit a snag in their Championship campaign last week as they lost 3:1 to Plymouth Argyle despite being marked as the favourites in that matchup. Moreover, they were completely unable to get into their stride and were behind for most of the game’s runtime.

Oxford United are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 0:0 draw against Burnley, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Oxford United. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Tom Lockyer, Amari Bell, Daiki Hashioka, Jacob Brown, Shandon Baptiste. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Will Goodwin, Joe Bennett, Przemyslaw Płacheta, Matt Phillips. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.73 odds offered at Betway.
