Bournemouth vs Luton Prediction & Match Preview

Bournemouth host Luton in the abandoned game of Matchday No 17 in Premier League. The game will be replayed in full this Wednesday at Vitality Stadium. The Cherries are looking to make amends after a disappointing 2-2 draw to Sheffield United while Luton desperately need points in the relegation battle.

• Luton lost five and drew one of the previous six games across competitions.
• Bournemouth kept just one clean sheet in the last nine Premier League affairs.
• The Hatters shipped three or more goals in five of the last seven fixtures in all competitions.

Bournemouth dropped two points at the weekend, playing only a 2-2 stalemate to rock-bottomed Blades. Andoni Iraola’s men created numerous chances but managed to find only two goals on the occasion. It is worth noting that Bournemouth’s back line did not look great on Saturday. The fact the Cherries allowed nine shots on target in the home fixture against the likes of Sheffield United speaks volumes.

Luton’s defence has not been any better in their 1-1 road stalemate at Crystal Palace on Saturday. It was a truly miraculous point for Rob Edwards’ men at Selhurst Park. They were completely outplayed by the Eagles in what has been a one-way street throughout the whole match. However, Luton punished Palace for their bountiful misses via a late equalizer from substitute Cauley Woodrow.

Recent Meetings

Bournemouth vs Luton Prediction

This match has goals in it. Neither team have done well defensively of late. Bournemouth kept just one clean sheet in the last nine games across competitions. They allowed nine shots on target in the home match against Sheffield United on Saturday.

That being said, we see the Cherries as firm favourites in this tie. Luton’s back line has been all over the place of late. The Hatters allowed at least three goals in five of the previous seven matches across competitions. They left top much space at the back at the weekend as well away at Crystal Palace.

Bournemouth also own a great home record in this matchup. We have to take the Home win & Both Teams To Score pick at the 2.62 odds.

Bournemouth’s top scorer Dominic Solanke missed a penalty and had a goal disallowed at the weekend against Sheffield United. He will have a great opportunity to make amends just four days later against the leaky Luton defence.

Big Dom has 14 goals to his name in this term of the Premier League. We see the value in backing him to score anytime against Luton at the 2.00 odds.
