Luton vs Preston Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th August 2022
Round three of the new Championship campaign will see last season’s top six finishers Luton take on Preston at Kenilworth Road this coming Saturday.
Both their first and second match of the new Championship season saw Luton drawing their matches. Could round three be third time lucky when chasing the first win? A draw, followed up by another draw and Preston are looking at a somewhat mediocre start to a new Championship campaign. Will they be able to unlock Luton at Kenilworth Road? We'll find out this coming Saturday.
The match this coming Saturday has all the makings of a tight battle as Luton and Preston look to bag a crucial three points in the process.
Luton scored six times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.6 goals a game. They conceded 13 and managed four clean sheets.

Luton vs Preston Prediction
In their last six Championship home matches, Luton have two wins, while they've drawn four and lost zero. They scored six and conceded four goals.
In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Luton might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Championship looks the most realistic scenario.
Preston claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Championship. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by nine goals to three.
While safety is the foremost priority for Preston, a top half finish is the ultimate dream for this term.
Are Luton good enough currently to justify the prices with the bookies, when they face Preston at Kenilworth Road? It could be tight, but considering form and match history, we believe the home side represents the best betting option.
