Luton Town - Portsmouth predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.18, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Luton Town on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Luton Town will want to forget their previous Championship match as quickly as possible. They were trailing behind for the entire match, after conceding early in the game. Ultimately, a Watford away defeat ended up being quite an embarrassment.

Portsmouth are coming on the back of a narrow 2:1 home win against Queens Park Rangers in the previous round of the Championship. The odds were in their favour from the get-go, though, with most online bookmakers pricing a home win at 2.50.

Luton Town’s previous 5 games all featured two goals or less on the scoreboard. A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on past performances.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Luton Town played against Portsmouth on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.82 odds offered by Pncl.
