Wolves vs Luton Prediction & Match Preview

Wolves vs Luton Match Preview

• Luton won just 1 of the last 16 outings across competitions.
• The Hatters shipped five goals in each of the previous two league games.
• Luton enter this off the back of four consecutive defeats on the road.

Luton’s top-flight survival ambitions have suffered a big blow with a 1-5 defeat to Brentford last weekend on the home turf. It was one of the Hatters’ worst performances of the season. They allowed the rivals nine shots on target seven days ago.

The defeat kept Rob Edwards’ men in the red zone. They will hope to rebound this Saturday. The Hatters travel to Molineux Stadium to take on Wolves in Matchday No 35. Wolverhampton have had their own woes in recent weeks.

Gary O’Neil’s men entered mid-week’s clash against Bournemouth winless in six straight matches across competitions. O’Neil had huge problems with sidelined players for the last weekend’s loss to Arsenal (0-2). The good news is that Pablo Sarabia, Nelson Semedo, and Rayan Ait-Nouri returned to the starting lineup in mid-week. Matheus Cunha also made the bench on Wednesday night.

Recent Meetings

• The two teams shared spoils in a 1-1 stalemate in the return game in September last year at Kenilworth Road.
• Wolves have 7 wins, 3 draws, and 3 defeats in the previous 13 home clashes with the Hatters.
• We did not see three or more goals in any of the previous three H2H games between these rivals.

Wolves vs Luton Prediction

Luton are in much greater need for points. However, it is very hard to find a case for their win at Molineux Stadium. The Hatters won just 1 of the last 14 games across competitions. They will go into this off the back of four defeats in the previous five league affairs.

Rob Edwards’ troops conceded five goals in each of the last two league losses to Manchester City and Brentford. They also have a poor record in the history of the matches at Molineux Stadium. Wolves welcomed several first-team regulars into the starting XI on Wednesday night against Bournemouth.

Gary O’Neil’s men still own a positive home record in this term of the Premier League. We must see the value in backing their win on Saturday at the 1.95 odds.

Luton’s back line has been all over the place in the last couple of weeks. The Hatters generally own the second-worst defensive record in the whole division. They allowed five goals in each of the previous two league games.

Also, three of Wolves’ last four home matches provided at least three goals. We will alternatively take the 1.61 odds offered for the Over 2.5 goals pick.
