Nerve duel between the two promoted teams
In the English Premier League, a duel between two promoted teams is on the program. And unsurprisingly, it is a clash from the bottom of the table. Both want to make a statement and the rest of the season will be difficult for both
The bookmakers’ Burnley vs Luton prediction shows the home side as favorites. However, this is not completely clear-cut, even if the home side have a few advantages on their side. The main reason for this is the Clarets’ home record, which can be completely improved
Burnley have some good approaches, especially when playing with the ball. But there are defensive problems in particular, which Luton can also tell you a thing or two about. That’s why our Burnley vs Luton betting tip is that both teams will score
Burnley – Statistics & current form
Burnley FC are determined to stay in the Premier League under manager Vincent Kompany. However, that won’t be easy. The Clarets have a number of deficiencies that need to be rectified. There is some catching up to do in defense, the forward play must become clearer and more points are needed at home. Kompany must now tackle all of this. A home game against a fellow promoted team is a good opportunity to take a step in the right direction.
Burnley’s last game was a narrow 1-0 defeat against Tottenham in the FA Cup. There, they actually showed very good defensive approaches, but were unable to refine them. This was also due to a lack of good finishing. The attacking duo of Foster and Amdouni currently have seven goals between them in the league, while no Burnley player has scored more than four times. So there is simply a lack of goals. The chances are definitely there.
Bitter: The last three competitive games have all been lost. Based on the last 15 competitive matches, there have only been two wins and one draw, otherwise only defeats. Burnley are at the bottom of the table for good reason, with just eleven points from 20 games. The fact that there is no discussion about the coach is also due to the quality of the squad and the generally positive development of the entire club under Kompany
Burnley with a classic 6-point game
It may sound trite, but Burnley’s game against Luton Town is a classic 6-point game against a direct rival. Taking the three points here would be immensely important. The Clarets must try to somehow stabilize their own defence. 41 goals conceded in the league is not a good figure, hardly any team has worse statistics here.
And yet the Burnley vs Luton odds show the home side as favorites. Because Burnley are playing against one of the few opponents they are individually superior to. And because the narrow defeat against Aston Villa (2:3) in the last league game was a source of encouragement. The home side are also a little rested and have not lost seven league games in a row against Luton.
Nevertheless, the defense remains the problem child and the fact that they have lost nine of their ten home games is a cause for concern. Therefore, ahead of the Burnley v Luton game, our prediction is that both teams will score

Luton – stats & current form
It was clear from the start that Luton Town would be fighting against relegation in the Premier League this season. However, the team has presented itself very well so far. Of course, the team were not expected to put in a brilliant performance, but Rod Edwards and his team have at least put in some good performances and managed to upset the odd opponent.
Most recently, however, Luton were annoyed themselves. In the game against Bolton (0:0) in the FA Cup, they came up against a cheeky, individually inferior team that gave Luton a bit of a run for their money. Now the team has to play a replay, which doesn’t suit them at all, as it is an additional burden that is unnecessary.
Luton have played one game less than Burnley in the Premier League so far, but have four more points to their name. Although that is only enough for 18th place, i.e. a relegation spot, the situation is at least a little more relaxed. And: A draw is enough for the visitors to come out of this relegation duel reasonably unscathed
Luton: The forecast speaks against the visitors
In recent games against Burnley, Luton have often not looked particularly good. In this game, the visitors will be looking to take advantage of the home side’s almost notorious weakness at home. However, with an average score of 0.78 points and 20 goals conceded already, Luton are no proven away specialists. What’s more, the Burnley vs Luton betting odds don’t give the visitors much encouragement, with the bookmakers tending to see the hosts ahead but not ruling out a draw.
Two of the three worst defenses meet, so it should be clear that both will try to be reasonably compact. The hosts have even managed that a little better recently. That’s why our value tip ahead of Burnley v Luton is that the home side will win

Burnley – Luton betting tip
Burnley will try to play convincingly at home, minimize mistakes and cause problems for their opponents. The chances of a good result are definitely there
Because the home side’s recent approach has not been bad, but the defenses of both teams continue to be weak and concede too much, our prediction for Burnley vs Luton is that both teams will score.
