Stoke City - Luton Town predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Luton Town. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

Luton Town are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.08 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Stoke City’s 1:1 draw in the previous round may seem like a mediocre result at best, but the path to it wasn’t easy. They were losing at half-time as a visiting team against considerably stronger opponents - Preston North End , and it took a lot of effort to equalize after that point.

The away team’s performance in the previous round was well above what most tipsters and bookies expected of them. Although an HT/FT draw does not sound all that exciting, pre-match Championship betting odds painted them as the 1.63 underdogs.

Luton Town’s recent record shows that most games end with a relatively small number of goals at the final tally. For instance, all 5 of their previous home games confirmed the Under 2.5 Goals market.

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

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.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.25 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as William Hill.
