Plymouth vs Luton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 27th September 2024

Luton go up against Plymouth this coming Friday for a Championship meeting at Home Park.

Plymouth are placed 20th with five points after six matches. Luton occupy a position as 15th in the league on seven points.

On on Friday, Luton aim to maintain their lead in the Championship table on Plymouth, who have a tough job ahead of them. They are up against a team favoured by the bookies to at least maintain the current gap between the sides.

Plymouth are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net seven times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.7 goals per game, as they conceded 14 goals. They managed two clean sheets in these matches.

Luton scored nine goals, conceded 11 and kept their opponents from scoring four times in ten matches.

Plymouth go into their encounter with fond memories, as they won 1-0 and 2-1 the last two times they played Luton.

Plymouth vs Luton Prediction

Plymouth Form

Showing inconsistent form, Plymouth lost two of their past three matches, going down 0-1 against Stoke, before beating Sunderland 3-2. The joy was short-lived, as West Bromwich proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat. Plymouth won three of their previous six matches at Home Park in the Championship. They drew two and suffered one defeats, scoring seven goals to five against.

The big goal of the season for Luton has to be winning the title, with a place inside the top two expected as the Championship action starts to unfold.

Luton Form

Luton look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Queens Park Rangers, they were left empty-handed in a 1-2 defeat, but they bounced back by beating Millwall in a 0-1 win. They followed that up with a 2-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday in their most recent outing. In their last six away matches in the Championship, Luton won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying ten goals conceded and ten scored.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Luton, as they look to build a title challenge.

It seems both Luton and Plymouth have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Friday, and we are rooting for goals.

Plymouth won zero points from their last one encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won zero, scored zero and let in four goals. Plymouth have so far been able to win just once after six Championship games played, in stead showing off two draws and three defeats. Luton have a record of two wins, one draw and three defeats in the Championship.
