Luton Town vs Brentford Prediction 20.04.2024

• Competition: England - Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 20th, April 2024
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16.00 CEST
• Venue: Kenilworth Road (Luton)

Seeking to inject fresh life into their survival bid, Luton will lock horns with fellow strugglers Brentford at Kenilworth Road in Saturday's Premier League encounter.

Despite being written off by many before the season began and labeled as the prime candidates for relegation, the Hatters have silenced numerous skeptics with their exceptional courage and tenacity. Despite fellow automatic promotion sides Sheffield United and Burnley are doomed, Luton still finds itself in a favorable position to avoid relegation, aided further by the point deductions handed to Forest (-4) and Everton (-8), while sitting just one point behind safety. However, Rob Edwards' men must quickly regroup, as just one victory in the last 12 EPL contests does not bode well for their chances of survival.

Next up for the bottom-dwellers is a meeting with Brentford, a side that has struggled domestically this season, in contrast to their strong performance last term, where they were on the cusp of earning a place in Europe. While European dreams have long flown out the window for this campaign, Thomas Frank's crew just needs to pick up a few more points to secure their stay in the English top-flight for the fourth year in a row, as they hold a healthy seven-point cushion over Saturday's hosts, who sit just below the dotted line. Last time out, the Bees took full advantage of playing at home to see off basement-boys Sheffield United 2-0, halting a nine-game winless drought (D4, L5).

Luton Town vs Brentford Betting Tips: BTTS

In the clash between two out-of-form sides battling in the lower reaches of the table, it's hard to determine the winner, but we're confident that goals at both ends at Kenilworth Road won't be in short supply. Luton's prowess in finding the back of the net is truly outstanding, and coupled with their shattered backline, it places them among the most entertaining Premier League sides to watch, as evidenced by the fact that BTTS has been seen an incredible 26 times in their 33 rounds. 

In a manner similar to their Saturday opponents, Brentford tends to produce goals aplenty, but their defensive line has been their Achilles' heel this season, especially when they are in the rival's territory, conceding almost two goals per game on average - a total of 28 in 16 matches. More precisely, six out of the Bees' last eight Premier League contests have resulted in goals at both ends, as well as each of their last four away fixtures. With both sides undisciplined and very vulnerable at the back, while also tending to rattle the net for any rival, it looks like an exciting draw could be on the cards.
