Luton Town - Plymouth Argyle predictions

Luton Town should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Plymouth Argyle can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Plymouth Argyle appear severely unprepared for a clash with Luton Town, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.61 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Just like most experts and fans predicted, Luton Town lost their previous Championship clash against Sheffield United with a 0:1 score at the end. All things considered, though, the match was much closer than most people thought it would be.

Plymouth Argyle were up against overwhelming odds in their previous home game, so it’s hard to fault them for the 2:0 loss. Although they did manage to hold on to an even score in the first half, the final result was a decisive 2:0 home victory for their opponents Blackburn Rovers.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

With 7 goals in Plymouth Argyle’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Plymouth Argyle carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Luton Town as somewhat more likely to win.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Reece Burke, Amari Bell, Tahith Chong are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Luton Town’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Thankfully, Plymouth Argyle will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

A Home Win at the odds of 1.83 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
