Luton vs Burnley Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th August 2024

When Burnley come to Kenilworth Road for the Championship match on Monday, Luton will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

We are bound to see an exciting game on Monday as both Luton and Burnley are looking to add some much-needed points to their respective accounts.

Luton are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 13 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.3 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents seven goals, or an average of 0.7 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to four clean sheets in this run.

When it comes to goal-scoring The Clarets are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 16 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.6 goals per game. They conceded seven goals for an average of 0.7 a game, achieving a clean sheet in five of these matches.

The last time these two sides facing off here came up against each other, Burnley came away with a 0-1 win. They have a similar outcome in mind at Kenilworth Road, but face stern opposition, of course.

Luton vs Burnley Prediction

Luton Form

In their previous three outings, Luton drew 1-1 with Everton, before losing 3-1 against West Ham and 2-4 against Fulham. Luton have been in potent form at Kenilworth Road, winning no less than five of the past six Championship matches here. They remained without defeat, as they drew once, hammered in ten goals while letting in two.

The big goal of the season for Luton is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Championship season.

Burnley Form

Burnley endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-4 by Newcastle, before Tottenham ran out 2-1 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Nottingham Forest, who came out 1-2 winners. Burnley recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six away matches in the Championship, in which they banged in ten goals, whilst conceding five. They remained undefeated, but did draw twice.

Luton would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

It seems both Burnley and Luton have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Monday, and we are rooting for goals.
