Why Bet on Luton Town?
Luton Town’s story of consistent success in England’s promotion categories reached its pinnacle this campaign, but unfortunately, the fairy tale looks set to come to an abrupt end.
They are coming from a 3-1 defeat away to West Ham. They started on top with a goal from Lokonga, but James Ward-Prowse, Tomas Soucek, and George Earthy turned it around. With this defeat, Luton remained in 18th position with 26 points, three behind Nottingham Forest, the bad thing being that there are only three points left to play for.
To be saved, they need Nottingham to lose (vs. Burnley), but by a big result, and they must win by a tremendous beating. The goal difference in favor of Forest is 12 goals. It seems impossible that this miracle will end up happening for the Hatters, who will have to say goodbye to the Premier League with their curious stadium, along with Sheffield United and Burnley. At home, they have 16 points, having won just one of their last seven games.
Among the team’s absentees are Tom Lockyer, who has been unable to return after heart problems, and Chiedozie Ogbene, injured.
Why Bet on Fulham?
Fulham was expected to leap in quality this season but finished at the bottom half of the Premier League, so winning now will be nothing more than a final contention. The Whites are coming off a 4-0 home loss to Manchester City, who had Josko Gvardiol (2), Phil Foden, and Julian Alvarez as their scorers. The last image left in front of their fans was one to forget.
Fulham is 14th with 44 points, aproduct of 12 wins, eight draws and 17 defeats. They have 51 goals for and 59 against. As visitors, they have only 15 points in 18 games. They have four games without a win, with two defeats and two draws, so their present is a copy of their mediocre campaign.
They have not been a team with a lot of goals, and Aleksandar Mitrovic’s departure this season was undoubtedly very hard, with the team being unable to fully replace him. However, Brazilian Rodrigo Muniz is having a great 2024, scoring nine goals.
Coach Marco Silva has no injuries or suspensions for this last match.
Final Betting Analysis: Luton Town vs. Fulham
When they played at Craven Cottage this season, the result was 1-0 to Fulham thanks to a goal from Carlos Vinicius, who is no longer in the team. The last time they played at Kenilworth Road was in 2022, in the second division, and it was a 1-1 draw.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Fulham as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 2.25, Luton has 2.85, and the draw is at 3.90.
Luton Town’s fate is practically sealedsince to be saved, they not only need to win by a landslide, but they must also hope for a Nottingham Forest debacle. However, these accounts will be unuseful to them, as the win will go to Fulham by 1-2.
Go for a win for Fulham. If you bet $100 at 2.25, you will gain $125 for a total payout of $225.
