Luton hosts shaky Newcastle, who experienced a couple of very tough losses over the last couple of days. The Hatters hope to end their negative streak at the expense of the dazzled Magpies, which won’t be easy at all.
Before Betting on Luton vs. Newcastle
Luton has three straight defeats, and during that streak, the team from Kenilworth Road allowed nine goals. Over the past 10 Premiership contests, the newcomers to the league managed to post only one victory, which was in late November against Crystal Palace at home.
The Hatters have a solid attack that managed to score at least once in eight of the mentioned 10 games, but on the other side, their defense is terrible, allowing at least one goal in each Premier League event since the campaign started.
Newcastle lost four of the latest five clashes. Throughout this negative streak, the Magpies suffered an elimination from the UEFA Champions League, missing the Europa League as well, and ending their international adventure.
To make things worse, Chelsea eliminated Newcastle (following a penalty shootout) from the English Football League Cup quarter-finals this Tuesday night. There isn’t a shred of doubt that the theme from Saint James’ Park is in crisis, and that this might be the crucial part of the season for them.

When looking at the paper, the difference in quality and cost is on Newcastle’s side, but right now, we have to say that it doesn’t mean anything due to the poor morale and the form of the visiting side. Still, that’s not enough to bet on Luton, so we are taking both teams to score as the most logical pick here. Both the Hatters and the Magpies experience problems in defense, while the respective offenses play at a much higher level.
