Luton Town vs Chelsea: A Championship club is going to beat the Aristocrats

Luton Town will play host to Chelsea at home to qualify for the FA Cup quarter-finals. The home side approaches the game against the Aristocrats with a winning streak of three performances. Will they be able to put up a fight against the visitors?

In the previous round of the FA Cup, Luton Town travelled to visit Cambridge United. As expected, the Championship side secured a 3:1 win. After the cup performance, the Hatters has played five matches in the Champions League, the only unsuccessful outcome being an away game against Birmingham City (0:3). Ahead of their game against Chelsea, Luton Town beat Derby County 1:0 at home. The Hatters currently sit sixth in the table and are considered playoff contenders and in contention for promotion to the EPL.

In the previous round of the FA Cup, Chelsea had an unexpectedly severe challenge against Plymouth. The Aristocrats had problems with the underdogs. Alonso scored the winning goal in extra time (2:1). Thomas Tuchel's side faced Liverpool in the English League Cup final the previous weekend. Both sides failed to use their chances, with the penalty shoot-out deciding the outcome 10:11! The decisive 11-kilometre penalty was missed by the home side's keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Chelsea is still third in the English league.

Nathan Jones is doing an excellent job as coach of Luton Town. Luton Town is regarded as one of the most progressive teams in the Championship this season, and it is no coincidence that the Hatters are being described as an EPL contender. Last campaign, Luton Town were at the bottom of the Championship table. Chelsea has had a lot of essential appearances in recent times: the English League Cup final, a difficult match in the Club World Cup. Naturally, Tuchel will have to change the squad considering the tight schedule.

We would not be surprised to see the Aristocrats face a second successive cup game. Luton Town is in great form at the moment, and they will try to spoil the mood of the London club. As the main bet, we suggest considering the home side's result. It is also possible to bet on the plus handicap of the Hatters.
