Bristol City suffered a 2-0 loss to West Brom in their last game to extend their winless run to 4 games. Cider Army have seen just a win in their last seven games, which I think is nothing to write home about. They have also seen one win in their last seven home games. Despite this struggle, Jason Knight has been exceptional in the midfield for this side. The Robins sit 12th on the table with 27 points in 22 games, scoring 26 goals and conceding 28. However, due to injuries, Joe Williams, Kal Naismith, Ayman Benarous, Scott Twine, and Mark Sykes are out.
Luton Town
LDWLW
In their last game, Luton Town recorded a 2-1 win over Derby County. Kayden Jackson put Derby ahead in the 58th minute before Thomas Holmes equalized in the 89th minute, and Carlton Morris scored the winner in the 90+2nd minute. They are unbeaten in three of their last four games but have lost their previous seven. The Hatters are 15th on the table, with 25 points in 22 games, scoring 25 goals and conceding 38. However, Teden Mengi, Reece Burke, Alfie Doughty, Tom Lockyer, and Reuell Walters are all ruled out of this game. Nevertheless, Alfie Doughty will hope to continue his exceptional role this season. He has created 45 chances this season.

Expert Betting Tips
Luton have been performing so badly on the road recently, losing seven straight games. Bristol City have not been exceptional at home either. They have won just one of their seven games at home. With this, I don’t think it is right to back either side in this game. I would rather stick with the BTTS and goal options because of the poor defense of both sides.
- BTTS for 1.80 odds
- HT: X for 2.10 odds
- Over 2.5 for 2.00 odds
