Saturday’s late Premier League game puts Luton Town against Aston Villa in what could be a pivotal game for both teams. Hosts Luton are desperate for points in their ongoing battle to stave off relegation. Villa, on the other hand, is the pleasant surprise this season and has every chance of finishing in the top 4.
Luton Town Team News
Despite being in the twilight zone, Luton Town is a fun team to watch. Looking at their results it is obvious that there are goals to be expected – scored by them but also a fair amount conceded by them as well. All of Luton’s last 8 competitive games have featured over 2.5 goals. In 7 of those there the team both scored and conceded at least 1 goal. Against Aston Villa, The Hatters will be hard-pressed for points as they are currently on a 3-game, loss streak and on a 4-game winless streak. The good news for Luton is that their last league win was at home.

Luton Town – Aston Villa Betting Prediction
For me, this game will feature goals. Both Luton and Aston Villa manage to score regularly, but their defences let goals slip by often as well. Given their recent results and this common trend between them, I believe that picking goals here is a good choice.
