Oxford United - Luton Town predictions

Though the match can honestly go either way, Oxford United will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 2.72 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Oxford United on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Oxford United are hoping to maintain the momentum following their home win in the last round of the Championship (Blackburn Rovers). They were held to a draw in the first half but managed to pull their socks up and score a decisive goal after the break thus beating the unfavourable betting odds to record three important points.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Championship game and win the bout, finishing 0:0 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, Oxford United is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so Luton Town will need to be careful.

Based on what we’ve been seeing from Luton Town lately, you may wish to consider placing a bet like Under 5 Goals. Their most recent two home games featured fewer than 2 total goals at the final whistle.

We see several draws on record between these two teams in the past season alone. Oxford United may be the favourites, but it’s becoming very clear that they can’t easily beat Luton Town.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.67. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
