Bournemouth vs Luton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th March 2024

When Luton come to Vitality Stadium for the Premier League match this coming Wednesday, Bournemouth will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

Bournemouth approach round 17 as number 13 in the Premier League table with 32 points on their account so far. With 27 rounds behind them, Luton have amassed 21 points, placing them as number 18 in the standings.

Luton will certainly be happy to end up with three points after claiming a couple of draws recently. However, another draw could still be good enough as Bournemouth seem like a tough opponent.

Bournemouth only average a modest 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 13 goals. They also conceded 17 for an average of 1.7 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Luton scored 20 goals, conceded 23 and held on for a clean sheet in one of their last ten matches.

This is the first time Bournemouth squares up against Luton in the Premier League in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.
