Luton vs Bolton Predictions

• Luton have won just two of their last ten home matches
• Bolton have won five of their last seven away games to nil
• Both teams have scored in six of the Hatters’ last seven fixtures

Rotated Luton likely to struggle

Luton have found some form lately, narrowly losing to both Manchester City and Chelsea either side of back-to-back wins over Newcastle and Sheffield United, yet they still find themselves in the Premier League relegation zone.

With that in mind, Rob Edwards is likely to rotate his squad for this FA Cup tie against Bolton as he saves his stars for the relegation scrap, which may leave the Hatters susceptible to an upset.

They have already been bounced out of one cup competition by lower-league opposition this season, losing 1-0 to League One Exeter in the League Cup earlier in the campaign, and may struggle against the third tier’s second-placed side with their key players rested.

Wanderers willing to provide shock

Bolton are 19 places higher and 28 points better off than Exeter, suggesting they may be strong enough to give Luton a second shock of the season.

The Trotters have won five of their last seven away games to nil, highlighting their strength on their travels, and have won their two FA Cup ties this season, albeit against non-league opposition, by an aggregate score of 9-1.

They are clearly taking this competition seriously and believe they could reach the latter rounds whilst maintaining their League One title-charge and they could at least force a replay when they take on the Hatters at Kenilworth Road on Sunday.
