Reading - Luton Town betting tips and odds

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Reading winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Luton Town, which is made quite clear with the 4.75 odds offered for a home win result.

Most bookies see Luton Town as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.00, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

The Royals’s previous Championship match ended in a 0:0 draw. They’re likely far happier with that result than Burnley , who played as the visiting team. The top bookies priced an away victory at 1.57, but the game was a stalemate in both halves.

The away team are here on the back of a stellar performance at Rotherham United which secured them an away win with a 0:2 goal difference. While it’s worth noting that they were the obvious favourites according to the pre-match betting odds, their dominance throughout the game speaks well of their current form.

We suggest staying away from Over 2.5 Goals markets for this match. The previous 5 times we saw Reading play at Madejski Stadium all concluded with two goals or less for both sides.

Luton Town and their strikers are well-regarded by experts and bookies alike – they managed to score more than 5 times in their previous 3 home games.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Championship. Luton Town were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.00 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

The 1.64 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
