Luton Town vs Colchester United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

We are backing both teams to find the back of the net when promotion chasing Luton host resurgent Colchester on Boxing Day and this is available at 8/11 with bet365. For our correct score tip we don’t think there will be anything to separate the sides and are backing them to play out a 2-2 draw which is available at 14/1 with the same site.

It’s been a fairly inconsistent start to the season for Luton but they are still firmly in the play-off places as we head into the festive period. Despite having the best defensive record in the division, the Hatters have shown some vulnerabilities at the back at home this season and 90% of their fixtures at Kenilworth Road have resulted in both teams scoring. Nathan Jones will be confident in his sides ability to find the back of the net, they are yet to fail to do so in their home games this season.

After a difficult spell it finally seems that Colchester are back on the right track and with three wins in their previous four games they haven’t yet given up hope of challenging for promotion back to League One. The U’s have only failed to score in 29% of their matches this season and will perhaps have a bit of a point to prove having not won at Kenilworth Road in their previous four attempts.

One interesting side note is in the goalscorer market as Luton have two players who feature in the league’s top scorers. Danny Hylton is available to score first at 11/2 with bet365 and 7/4 to score anytime but our money would go with Cameron McGeehan who is available to score first at 6/1 or 15/8 to score anytime.
