Brighton vs Luton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th August 2023

Brighton enjoy home advantage, when visitors Luton swing by on Saturday for a Premier League clash.

Brighton take on Luton Town for the first time since a cup match in 2009. This is the first time in their history, Luton steps into the Premier League. They are heavily favoured to go straight down again, but the way “The Hatters” have fought to get to this stage, already beggars belief. Who knows what they are capable of under manager Rob Edwards.

Brighton enter their new campaign with a historically high sixth place to defend. Having lost Mac Allister to Liverpool, they will be keen on holding on to at Caicedo.

Having never shared a season in the Premier League in recent past, this is the first time Brighton comes up against Luton in this context.

Brighton vs Luton Prediction

Brighton Form

Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Brighton at the moment. Against Southampton, they came out on top in a 3-1 win, before drawing 1-1 against Manchester City. Most recently, they were left reeling in a 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa. Brighton claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored 15 and conceded ten goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Brighton might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

Luton Form

Luton have been all over in their last three matches across all tournaments. Against Sunderland, they came out empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 2-0 win against Sunderland. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Coventry.

The relegation battle is a fiercely contested struggle season after season, and Luton is expected to be in the middle of this for the majority of the Premier League-campaign.

Brighton are the bookies favourite to claim the win, when Luton arrive at The American Express Community Stadium, and we believe the home side will prevail.
