Premier League, played Saturday, March 9th, 2024
Here is our Crystal Palace v Luton tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Crystal Palace home win. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Crystal Palace were dealt a heavy 3-1 loss away from home in north London when they suffered defeat at the hands of high-flying Tottenham last Saturday but The Eagles now have a golden opportunity to return to winning ways when they head back to Selhurst Park for this upcoming clash against Luton Town, while the visitors slumped to a fourth defeat on the trot in the Premier League following a 3-2 loss at home to Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace had previously picked up a welcome and desperately needed 3-0 home win against Burnley which became new manager, Oliver Glasner's first win in charge of the London club and he'll be demanding a response from his players for this upcoming encounter against lowly Luton Town.
League wins have been hard to come by for Crystal Palace this season though as The Eagles have managed to capture just seven wins in total throughout this Premier League campaign but four of these seven wins have been achieved on home soil at Selhurst Park.
Indeed, three of Crystal Palace's last four home games have seen The Eagles pick up wins against Brentford, Sheffield United and Burnley which should give Palace an edge ahead of this upcoming tussle.
Luton Town came close yet again on Saturday evening's game against Aston Villa but Rob Edwards' side ultimately lost out yet again in a tightly fought game, losing 3-2 at home to the west midlands club which left The Hatters sitting in the bottom three places in the Premier League table.
Previous losses to the likes of Sheffield United, Manchester United and Liverpool have prevented Luton Town from staying close to the teams above them and indeed, the visitors now trail fourth from bottom club Nottingham Forest by a four-point margin ahead of this weekend's fixtures.
Luton Town have also had their successful moments though in the English top flight as Rob Edwards' side had previously picked up wins against Newcastle United, Sheffield United and Brighton - the latter being a particularly impressive 4-0 rout of The Seagulls at Kenilworth Road.
However, results away from home continue to hold The Hatters back from making inroads into securing their Premier League status this season as the visitors have managed to collect just two wins from their 12 outings on the road so far this season and this does not bode well for this upcoming visit to Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
Crystal Palace v Luton Town Verdict
Both Crystal Palace and Luton Town have been struggling for results in the English top flight for some time so this upcoming fixture looks a tough one to call but Palace with home advantage may just sneak the three points here.
Therefore, our main bet will be Crystal Palace win @ 1.72
Other side bets worth considering:
Crystal Palace win & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.75
Correct Score: Crystal Palace 2-1 @ 9.00
