Everton vs Luton Prediction & Match Preview

• Everton won only one of the previous seven games in all competitions.
• The Toffees scored just one goal in the last four outings.
• Luton lost just once in the previous six fixtures in all competitions.

Everton host Luton in one of many all-Premier League encounters in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The two teams sit right next to each other in the Premier League table with one point between them on the brink of the red zone.

Everton kept their net untouched in the last three games across competitions, including both legs of the FA Cup third round tie against Crystal Palace. They advanced to this stage thanks to an Andre Gomes first-half difference-maker in the replay against the Eagles ten days ago.

Head coach Sean Dyche has reasons to worry about Everton’s latest attacking displays. The Toffees notched just one goal in the previous four affairs in all competitions, a run that involves a goalless draw to Aston Villa in the last Premier League match.

Luton also needed a replay to book this fourth round tie as they dispatched lower-division Bolton Wanderers 2-1 on the road eleven days ago. The first leg at Kenilworth Road did not bring goals at all. The Hatters played another low-scoring game in their last Premier League fixture, sharing spoils with Burnley in a 1-1 stalemate at Turf Moor earlier this month.

Recent Meetings

Luton picked up one of their two road wins in this term of the Premier League just against Everton, beating the Toffees 2-1 in September last year at Goodison.

Everton have 11 wins, 2 draws, and only 5 defeats in the previous 18 home outings against the Hatters.

Just two of the previous seven head-to-head meetings between Everton and Luton produced three or more goals.

Everton vs Luton Prediction

Everton seem to have reversed to the old Sean Dyche system, the one the manager used to enforce back during his Burnley days. We saw just one goal in total in the last three games they played in all competitions, two of which were the FA Cup clashes against Crystal Palace.

Luton Town also played two consecutive low-scoring matches before beating Bolton 2-1 on the road in the third-round replay. Since five of the last seven head-to-head matches between these sides ended with fewer than three goals scored, we’ll back the Under 2.5 goals FT pick at the 2.00 odds.

It is very hard to find value in backing Everton at the 1.50 odds here. The Toffees won just one of the previous seven games in all competitions. Luton, on the other side, lost only one of their last six matches across competitions. We’ll go with the away win or draw double chance pick at much more attractive 2.50 odds.
