Luton vs Burnley Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 3rd October 2023

Matchday 2 of the new Premier League season sees Burnley pay Luton a visit at the Kenilworth Road in what promises to be a gruelling affair.

Burnley came away from their opening match of the season on a sour note and no doubt aim to rectify themselves.

Burnley will be hopeful of getting on the board after an unlucky opening to the new Premier League campaign which left them empty-handed.

With 3 defeats from their last 6 games, the situation at Luton could probably be a lot better. They need to improve their game or prepare for more disappointment as they face Burnley at home.

Luton have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly five goals in their previous six matches. That is an average of 0.9 goals per game, in which they conceded 12 goals, or 2.1 goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to zero clean sheets in this run.

Burnley are currently not the most scoring team in the Premier League, as they only found the back of the net seven times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.7 goals a game in which they conceded 22 times, an average of 2.2 per game. They managed zero clean sheets in these.

This is the first time Luton and Burnley meet in the Premier League in the 21st century. As there is no prior record of them playing against each other in this competition, as any stats from past encounters are from cup or friendly matches.

Luton vs Burnley Prediction

Luton Form

Luton hope for some consistency, as their last three matches added four points to their account. A meeting with Wolverhampton resulted in a 1-1 draw, followed by a 1-0 defeat against Exeter, before beating Everton by 1-2. Luton did not win any of their last six Premier League matches at the Kenilworth Road. They came through these matches with a record of two draws and one defeats, in which they conceded six and scored nine goals.

Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Burnley, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the Premier League.

Burnley Form

It is all or nothing with Burnley, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 0-1 against Manchester United, before beating Salford City 0-4. Unable to build on that, they lost 2-0 against Newcastle. In their last six Premier League away matches, Burnley failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn three and lost two, scoring five while also conceding seven times.

Retaining their Premier League status and challenging for a top half finish will be on the agenda for Burnley this season.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Luton welcome Burnley on Tuesday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
