Luton vs Blackpool Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Luton’s last eight league wins have all been ‘to nil’
• Luton average 0.95 goals conceded per game when playing at home
• Blackpool average 0.85 goals scored per game away from home

Luton on course

Luton Town are on course to make the Championship playoffs this season, currently sitting in third place with just six games left to play. A huge reason for this success is their phenomenal defensive record, the third best in the league only behind the top two.

The Hatters average just 0.95 goals conceded per game when playing at Kenilworth Road, and 0.85 across all their fixtures this season, with this defensive resilience having seen their last eight league wins all come ‘to nil’. Going up against a Blackpool side who average just 0.85 goals scored per game when on the road, a best bet prediction for Luton to win to nil looks best here.

Blackpool’s defensive mess

Blackpool have conceded ten goals in their last three games, and have lost seven of their last ten. Going up against a very strong Luton side will be a tough test for the Tangerines, who have been somewhat cut adrift towards the bottom of the league, with their loss to Cardiff on Friday leaving them seven points away from safety with just six to play.

As a result of their poor form, not only struggling for wins but also for goals and clean sheets, combined with Luton’s imperious defensive record, a correct score prediction of a 2-0 Luton win looks good for this one.
