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

It looks to be an easy leg of any accumulator when Luton host Hartlepool on Tuesday night but for our tip we are going to try and get a bit more value by backing Luton to win with a -1 handicap, which is priced at 11/8 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think the Hatters will be able to shut out the visitors and are backing them to win 2-0 at 13/2 with the same site.

Luton boss Nathan Jones will be keen to instill the importance of this game as Luton have the opportunity to draw level on points with Carlisle, who currently occupy the last of the automatic promotion spots. With the Cumbrians having the difficult task of playing the league leaders and already having a worse goal difference than the Hatters, the table could make for some interesting viewing come Wednesday morning. Jones’ side come into the match in good form after back to back wins in the league and with three wins in their previous four home league games they will be confident of adding three more points to their tally.

The story almost couldn’t be anymore different for a Hartlepool side who are struggling towards the bottom end of the table. They were soundly beaten by Mansfield at the weekend and they have failed to win in their previous nine away league matches. They have also lost on their last five visits to Kenilworth Road with an aggregate scoreline of 13-4.
