Newcastle vs Luton Prediction

Newcastle Form

Newcastle look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against Manchester City, they were left empty-handed in a 2-3 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Fulham in a 0-2 win. They followed that up with a 1-3 win against Aston Villa in their most recent outing. Newcastle managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League. They drew none though, while losing twice in this series. They scored 12 goals and conceded seven times.

Luton Form

Luton look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Bolton, who were defeated by 1-2. Then, Everton got outclassed in a 1-2 win, before beating Brighton by 4-0. Luton only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by 12 goals to eight.

Anything but a home win would be a stunning result, and we back Newcastle not to be stunned, just like we back numerous goals to be scored when they face Luton.

Newcastle recorded nine points following three wins from their last six games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 12 goals, but also conceded seven. Luton scored 15 goals and conceded 24 in their last 12 encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League. This lead to two wins and seven points. Newcastle have a record of ten wins, two draws and ten defeats in the Premier League this season. Luton have a record of five wins, four draws and 12 defeats in the Premier League.
