Luton vs Brighton Prediction & Match Preview

• Luton are unbeaten in the last four matches in all competitions.
• The Hatters won five of the previous six home clashes against Brighton.
• Both teams scored in five of Luton’s previous six matches in all competitions.

Luton will be looking for salvation points on the back of successive FA road wins as they play host to Brighton on Tuesday evening at Kenilworth Road in Premier League Gameweek No 22. The Hatters picked up back-to-back 2-1 away wins over lower-division Bolton and Everton to book the fifth round clash against reigning champions Manchester City in the FA Cup.

Rob Edwards’ troops have gained some kind of momentum of late, going unbeaten in four straight affairs in all competitions. They are still inside the bottom-three in the Premier League table but sitting just one point below Everton with a game in hand on the Toffees.

The match against Brighton will be a tough one, though, as the Seagulls will also enter the tie on a high. Roberto De Zerbi’s men are undefeated in six straight outings and they will go into this on the back of a 5-2 thumping of Sheffield United in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon at Bramall Lane.

Joao Pedro confirmed his excellent spell of form with a hat-trick in the Steel City. He is also Brighton’s top scorer in the Premier League with seven goals to his name. Since Luton also play attacking-minded football, we have reasons to expect a high-scoring affair. These are perfect circumstances for the Brazilian forward to maintain his marvellous spell of form.

Recent Meetings

• Brighton eased past Luton 4-1 in the return match played in August last year at The AMEX.
• The Seagulls, however, own a horrendous record in the away games against Luton. Luton won five of the previous six H2H matches at Kenilworth Road.
• We saw goals at both ends in all but one of the previous seven head-to-head outings between these sides.

Luton vs Brighton Prediction

This match has goals in it. Both teams fancy attacking-minded football and both outfits have done well offensively in the latest games. We saw goals at both ends in five of Luton’s last six affairs across competitions. Six or more goals were scored in three of Brighton’s last five outings in all competitions. Since both teams also scored in all but one of the previous seven H2H affairs, we just have to go for this option at the 1.61 odds.

Brighton are 1.66 favorites for the win but we can hardly see the value there. Luton have improved their form drastically of late. They held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw and they dispatched Crystal Palace and Newcastle in recent home outings in the Premier League. The Hatters are unbeaten in four consecutive outings across competitions and they have won five of the last six home fixtures against Brighton. You can back Luton to win or draw at the 2.15 odds.
