Chelsea vs Luton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 25th August 2023
Luton head to Stamford Bridge as the clear underdogs for a Premier League round three match with Chelsea this coming Friday. Given how the odds are stacked against them, anything apart from a defeat will be a surprise.
Chelsea will be feeling the pressure of securing a first win of the season in the Premier League after collecting a modest one point in the first couple of rounds.
Luton are on zero points after the two opening rounds of the Premier League, however, with only one match to their name and that against the current league leaders.
Chelsea scored 11 goals, conceded 20 and fought their way to zero clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
Having never played each other in the Premier League in the 21st century, this is the first time Chelsea comes up against Luton in this tournament as of late. Thus, any eventual h2h stats stems from meetings in cup matches or friendlies.
Chelsea vs Luton Prediction
Chelsea Form
In the previous three games, Chelsea drew 1-1 with Newcastle, lost 1-1 against Liverpool and 3-1 against West Ham. Chelsea are without a win in their last six Premier League matches on home soil, which produced a record of four draws and two defeats, in which they conceded eight and scored five goals.
A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Chelsea a contender in the race for the top four of which they look capable if catching the right momentum.
Luton Form
In their last three matches, Luton beat Sunderland 2-0, drew 1-1 with Coventry and lost 4-1 against Brighton. Luton didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed zero draws, while suffering one defeats. They conceded four and scored one goals themselves.
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.
We'd be flabbergasted to see Chelsea waste away a win against Luton, who could be in for a battering, the way goals have been flowing lately.
