Brentford vs Luton Predictions

• Both teams have scored in nine of Luton’s 13 Premier League games.
• Brentford have only kept one clean sheet in seven home matches this term.
• The Bees have scored exactly three goals in two of their last three at home.

Bees look to bounce back

Brentford will be looking to get back to winning ways on Saturday after suffering consecutive Premier League defeats but they might not have it all their own way against an improving Luton side.

The Bees can be forgiven to losing to Liverpool and Arsenal either side of the October international break but their issues at the back have been present all season. They have just three clean sheets in 13 top-flight games and only one of those has come in their seven home assignments.

Hatters’ hope growing

That will be music to the ears of Luton fans, because the pre-season relegation favourites have started to show signs of improvement lately and there is growing hope that they could put up a good fight this term.

The Hatters are 17th following Everton’s ten-point deduction and picked up their second top-flight win of the season against Crystal Palace last weekend.

Rob Edwards’ side have scored in four of their last five games and were unlucky to take only one point from recent meetings with Liverpool and Manchester United.

Expect goals in Brentford

Considering Brentford’s defensive issues, backing both teams to score looks a good option but I do expect the hosts’ quality to shine through.

Thomas Frank’s team have scored exactly three goals in two of their last three at home and Luton have scored exactly once in two of their last four, so a 3-1 correct score prediction appeals.
