Wolverhampton vs Luton Prediction

Wolverhampton Form

A single point is all Wolverhampton can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, before getting trounced 0-2 against Arsenal while Bournemouth won 0-1. Wolverhampton only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew zero and lost four, as they scored four and conceded eight goals.

Luton Form

Luton have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it started with a 2-1 win against Bournemouth. Unable to follow that up, they went down 5-1 against Manchester City, before handing over all three points in a 1-5 defeat against Brentford. Luton came through their last six away games in the Premier League without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew one and lost five in which, they were outscored by 18 goals to seven.

Luton are closer to the relegation zone than they would have wished for at this late stage of the season. They are still capable of pulling clear though and securing another season in the top flight.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Wolverhampton get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Luton.
