Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction & Match Preview

Bournemouth broke into the top-ten in the Premier League table thanks to a phenomenal run of four wins and a draw in the last five matches. The Cherries extended it on Tuesday evening, beating Crystal Palace 1-0 at Vitality Stadium. Justin Kluivert’s late winner made the difference in their favour in mid-week.

• Five of Luton’s last seven home matches provided four or more goals.
• We’ve seen at least four goals in five of Bournemouth’s previous seven away outings as well.
• Dominic Solanke is Premier League’s third-highest scorer with 16 goals to his name so far in the season.

Easy schedule continues for Andoni Iraola’s men at the weekend. Bournemouth visit Kenilworth Road to take on relegation-threatened Luton Town in Matchday No 32 on Saturday afternoon. Luton are in a very difficult situation. They are winless in eleven consecutive games across competitions.

The Hatters are three points behind Nottingham Forest in the safe zone after mid-week’s round. They got unlucky to concede a late goal in a narrow 1-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Bournemouth completed an amazing second-half comeback in a seven-goal thriller against Luton last month at Vitality Stadium. The Cherries won 4-3 despite trailing 0-3 at the half time.

Luton have a positive home record in this matchup. They won four, drew four, and lost three of the previous eleven home clashes against the Cherries.

Each of the last three H2H affairs saw the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score pick coming in.

Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction

The 1-2 defeat at Spurs marked a run of ten consecutive Luton Town games in which both teams scored. We certainly have plenty of reasons to expect this trend to continue on Saturday, especially knowing about the scenario from the previous head-to-head encounter between Luton and Bournemouth.

The Cherries will come into this in higher spirits. They won four and drew one of the previous five league clashes. However, we are not quite convinced in their victory here knowing how important this game is for Luton Town.

Instead, we will rather back the Over 3.5 goals FT bet as the main betting option at the odds of 2.20. Five of the last seven league games Luton played on the home turf saw at least four goals scored. The same scenario happened in five of Bournemouth’s previous seven away outings across competitions.

Dominic Solanke has been Bournemouth’s talisman this season. He has 16 goals in 30 Premier League appearances. He is now set to face one of the worst defensive lines in the top flight of English football. It is great to have him at the 2.30 odds to score anytime in these circumstances.
