Luton v Crystal Palace

Luton vs Crystal Palace Preview

Luton Town's winless run in the Premier League was extended to a miserable six games just before the international break when they suffered a 1-0 defeat away from home against Manchester United at Old Trafford despite holding out for almost an hour against the Red Devils, but The Hatters return to home surroundings for this upcoming clash with Crystal Palace who lost a high-scoring game 3-2 at home to Everton before the break.

Luton Town find themselves perched just above the relegation zone in the Premier League table despite failing to win any of their last six matches overall and having been handed four defeats within this period, Luton Town's confidence must have taken at least a dent in recent weeks as a result.

Losses to Burnley, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Manchester United means Luton are still looking nervously over their shoulders while just the one win to date in this season's campaign means the pressure has not been able to be lifted from Kenilworth Road either as Luton's only success so far this term came in the form of a 2-1 win away at Everton.

Luton still remain without a home win to date, losing three of their five home games so far, three of which also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Crystal Palace had the strangest of incidences recently after losing 3-2 at home to Everton as The Eagles climbed above Everton following that as The Toffees were handed a 10-point penalty deduction just after that result following financial irregularities, as Palace now sit in 13th place where they possess a valuable nine-point cushion over Luton Town.

However, although Roy Hodgson's men secured a vital three points with a 2-0 win away from home at Burnley, The Eagles' wings were clipped in recent weeks after suffering defeats at the hands of Newcastle United, Tottenham and Everton which has resulted in Crystal Palace occupying a place in the lower half of the Premier League table.

The visitors have been able to pick up wins against teams sitting around or below them in the table though and this has been the difference between Palace and the teams struggling in the bottom three as the London club have registered wins against Sheffield United, Wolves, Manchester United and Burnley.

Results away from home have also produced a reasonable return so far this season as Palace have won three, drawn one and lost just twice in their opening six games on the road this term which should give them a decent chance of a result at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.

Luton Town v Crystal Palace Verdict

It's been 16 years since the last meeting between these two sides but Palace ran out 2-1 winners that day and the visitors look the more likely to collect the three points here this Saturday as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Crystal Palace win @ 2.10

Other side bets worth considering:

Crystal Palace win & Under 2.5 goals @ 4.33

Correct Score: Crystal Palace 1-0 @ 7.50
