Luton vs Charlton Predictions

• These two promoted sides are having very different seasons.
• Luton come into this clash with the third-worst home record in the division.
• 88% of Luton’s home games have seen 3 or more goals.
• The hosts have lost six of their last seven in the Championship.

Two promoted sides clash in the Championship this weekend. These two have enjoyed differing fortunes in the second tier, with Luton slipping towards the drop after a few setbacks. The hosts come into this game having lost each of their last five matches, a run which has left them fourth from bottom.

Meanwhile, Charlton are aiming to end a five-game winless run here. Their recent trips have taken them to the likes of West Brom and Fulham, but this visit to a fellow Championship newcomer seems like an opportunity for the visitors.

Luton’s Home Struggles

The hosts haven’t exactly turned Kennilworth Road into a fortress this term. Luton have the third-worst home record in the Championship, with only two wins here all season. While they’ve managed to score 12 goals in eight here, they’ve also let in 14 goals in that time. That’s led to a string of high scoring home losses, including three 2-1 defeats here.

That poor record could continue in this meeting with the Addicks, who have scored 15 times across their last six meetings with Luton. With the hosts already in trouble, they could be pushed into the bottom three on Tuesday.

Another Thriller for Both Sides

These two sides have been no strangers to goals this term, with Luton possessing the second-worst defence in the division. The bad news for them is that only six sides have outscored Charlton in the Championship this season. Following their high scoring away form, 75% of Charlton’s trips have seen over 2.5 goals scored. The visitors have seen at least three goals in seven of their last eight overall, while that should continue here.

Luton have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last six matches. This season 88% of Luton’s home games have seen over 2.5 goals, as have each of their previous six meetings with Charlton. The hosts have lost six of their last seven, letting in two goals in each of those defeats while scoring eight in return. With Charlton seeing both teams score in their last four trips, we see goals in this game. Over 2.5 is our main tip for this one, having landed in nine of Luton’s 11 losses this season.

Following their five straight defeats, Luton are vulnerable heading into this clash. Charlton will be looking to extend their good scoring record away to the sides below them, having hit two goals in three of their four trips to bottom-half sides. With Luton losing half of their home matches so far – including each of their last two – we are backing a 2-1 victory for Charlton in this clash.
