Luton Town - Brentford predictions and free betting tips [20/04/2024]

On Saturday the 20th of April, during the 34th round of the Premier League (PL), Luton Town will play host to Brentford. Last weekend, Rob Edwards' charges were torn to shreds by Manchester City (5:1), while the 'Bees' overcame Sheffield United with little trouble, winning 2:0.

Predicted Lineups

Luton Town: Kaminski; Kabore, Hashioka, Burke, Doughty; Clark, Mpanzu, Barkley; Townsend, Morris, Chong.
Brentford: Flekken; Zanka, Collins, Pinnock; Roerslev, Jensen, Janelt, Damsgaard, Reguilon; Mbeumo, Toney.

Stadium

The match will take place in Luton at the Kenilworth Road Stadium.

Luton Town

Occupying 18th place in the Premier League standings and lagging behind Nottingham Forest by just one point, Luton Town continues the fight to avoid relegation. The 'Hatters' are going to have to exert quite a bit of effort to achieve this, especially considering their current form leaves a lot to be desired. After 10 rounds without a win (3 draws and 7 defeats), Rob Edwards' wards managed to beat Bournemouth at home with a score of 2:1. However, last weekend, the blue and whites were comprehensively beaten by Manchester City.

It is significant to note that Luton has not left the field goalless in their last 13 matches across competitions; in fact, the blue-whites have managed to find the net in their last 12 home appearances. In the remaining rounds, the hosts do not have any top opponents (arguably West Ham), which means there is a real chance to cling to the right to maintain their Premier League status.

Brentford

Currently, Brentford is in 15th place in the Premier League table, trailing their opponents by 7 points. With 5 rounds left to play, the London side can anticipate a relatively comfortable end to the championship, although Thomas Frank's charges have lost some steam in recent weeks.

Last weekend, making the most of their home support, the white and reds overcame sinking rivals Sheffield United by 2:0, a result that allowed the hosts to break a nine-round winless streak (4 draws and 5 defeats). The 'Bees' have mustered just one point in their last 15 away matches, conceding 11 in their last four road games, and have not managed to string together two consecutive Premier League victories since November.

Head-to-Head

The 'Bees' have won six out of their last seven meetings against the 'Hatters', including a 3:1 victory in December's first-leg match.

Match Prediction for Luton Town vs Brentford

The 'Hatters' have demonstrated their ability to trouble any team on their home turf on multiple occasions throughout the current campaign. However, Luton's personnel losses are bound to affect the hosts in terms of fatigue and selection. The rejuvenated Tony will undoubtedly bring additional strength and emotion to the visitors. In the first leg, the 'Bees' experienced little difficulty against the underdogs, so I'm backing a Brentford victory with a handicap of 0.

Total Prediction

Luton is conceding an average of more than two goals per game this campaign, while Brentford boasts a more than competent attacking line - my bet is on the visitor's individual total over 1.5 goals.

Corner Prediction

Luton averages more than 5.5 corner kicks per game and, supported by their home crowd, will certainly not retreat. I predict a win for Luton in terms of corners.

Yellow Cards Prediction

Luton accumulates an average of only 1.8 yellow cards per game, while Brentford averages 2.4. I'm betting that the visitors will not be inferior in terms of warnings.

Score Prediction

My prediction is for an exact final score of 1:2 in Brentford's favour.
