Luton Town will host Arsenal on Tuesday night in the Premier League in the first of the midweek league action and we took a closer look at the two sides heading into this match.
The hosts come into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 3-1 away defeat against Brentford, with Jacob Brown getting on the score sheet for the Hatters.
The Gunners narrowly beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at home in their most recent fixture, with the visitors scoring a late goal to give Mikel Arteta’s side a bit of a scare late on.
Luton Town vs Arsenal
Tuesday 5 December, 20:15
Premier League
Kenilworth Road
Luton come into this fixture on a poor run of form as they have won just once out of their eight most recent games in all competitions, albeit they have been the underdogs in the majority of these fixtures.
Despite the recent form, the Hatters are arguably performing above expectations so far this season and as they sit one place above the relegation zone and many would have tipped them to get relegated back to the Championship.
The Gunners find themselves in impressive form heading into this game, as they have won all five of their most recent fixtures, while conceding just two goals in these games.
With the recent purple patch for the Gunners, mixed with some of the sides around them dropping points, Arteta’s side currently sit top of the Premier League by two points after 14 games played.
Bukayo Saka has started to pick up some good form for Arsenal in recent weeks; the England international has found the back of the net in each of his last two games and chipped in with four goal contributions in his last three games.
Given the recent form of the two sides, we predict that this game will result in a comfortable victory for Arsenal, and you can get odds at Bet9ja of 1.62 for the Gunners to win both halves. Martin Odegard has scored three times in his last four games and you can get odds of 2.60 for him to score anytime in this one. Issa Kabore has picked up four yellow cards in 12 league games for the Hatters and you can get odds of 4.00 for him to be shown a card in this one.
