Tottenham vs Luton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-03-29 15:00.
[p]Tottenham had two weeks to lick their wounds after a disastrous defeat to Fulham (3-0) left them three points adrift of the top-four, while it also ended their 38-match scoring streak. Ahead of a similarly important trip across town to West Ham, they cannot take upcoming opponents Luton for granted, with the Hatters showing improvement since Spurs won the reverse fixture 1-0 in October.[/p]
[p]Tottenham have won six of their last seven Premier League games at home (L1), but it has been anything but straightforward for Ange Postecoglou and his players. They’ve conceded goals in ten consecutive league outings on their own turf (W6, L4), whilst their last three victories here came without the comfort and assurance of a half-time lead or the opening goal of the match.[/p]
[p]Luton had scored just six goals across their first eight Premier League matches by the conclusion of their 1-0 loss to Tottenham, but then Rob Edwards found a way to make their forward line click. They’re averaging a healthy 1.7 goals per league game since that H2H, but the defence has leaked an average of 2.1 goals per match in return during that same period. [/p]
[p]With that in mind, it probably comes as no surprise that Luton’s last seven away league games saw both teams score on the day, with Tottenham’s leaky defence opening up the chance for an eighth here. But first and foremost on Luton’s mind will be strengthening the delicate one-point gap to safety given to them by Nottingham Forest’s points deduction, but an ongoing eight-match winless run (D3, L5) suggests that buffer is under serious threat.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Timo Werner reportedly wants to join Tottenham permanently after scoring late in each of their last two league wins and will be keen to further demonstrate his value here. Chiedozie Ogbene could be Luton’s greatest scoring threat, with four of his five competitive goals this season coming away from home.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Tottenham’s last 11 league games produced over 2.5 total goals, as did nine of Luton’s last 12. [/p]
