Luton Town - Fulham predictions

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

Fulham are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

The top online bookmakers and experts alike predicted an away win at Luton Town’s previous home game at West Ham United , so it’s fair to say people were surprised by the lead they took in the first half. It didn’t matter in the end, though, as they endured a crushing 3:1 defeat.

The away team are hoping to earn back some points for the Premier League table after being decimated by Manchester City last round. The Cottagers played as the hosts, but were still up against almost impossible odds, so the final 0:4 score was not much of a surprise if we’re being honest.

Experts have pointed at Luton Town’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Premier League games.

With 8 goals in Fulham’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 can rely on the teams’ previous meeting as a point of reference. Earlier in the season, Fulham won a Premier League match against Luton Town in a relatively close game. With that in mind, the 2.30 odds on the visitors winning make a lot of sense.

Luton Town’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Tom Lockyer, Daniel Potts, Mads Juel Andersen, Ross Barkley have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.45, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
