Watford vs Luton Town Prediction: Records on the brick of breaking

Luton Town will continue their relegation battle when they travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford. The hosts have lost their last five games at home, while the visitors have won one of their 16 games on the road this season. Who will win? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Watford

Watford returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough in their last game, with the only goal of the game scored by Moussa Sissoko in the 40th minute. Prior to the win, the Yellow Army had gone five games without a win. They have now managed two wins in their last 12 games in all competitions. The Hornets have lost each of their last five home games after an impressive start of the season at home, where they had won 10 of their 12 games. They sit 9th on the table with 45 points in 33 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 48. However, Mileta Rajovic (illness), Kwadwo Baah (thigh), Pierre Dwomoh (thigh), and Daniel Bachmann (cruciate ligament) are ruled out of this game.

Luton Town

Luton Town were held to a 1-1 draw in their game against Plymouth. Jacob Brown opened the scoring in the 55th minute before Maksym Talovierov equalized for Plymouth in the 70th minute. The Hatters are winless in their last 12 games, and their hope of survival keeps suffering a setback every game week. They have picked up 5 points (a win and two draws) in their 16 away games this season. They sit bottom of the table with 28 points in 33 games, scoring 31 goals and conceding 53. However, Tahith Chong (hamstring), Reece Burke (hip), Tom Lockyer (unknown), and Teden Mengi (knee) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Possible Starting 11

Watford — Egil Selvik, Ryan Andrews, James Abankwah, Kevin Keben, Yasser Larouci, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Imran Louza, Rocco Vata, Edo Kayembe, Giorgi Chakvetadze, Vakoun Issouf Bayo.

Expert Betting Tips

Watford might not have got things right in their previous game, but they are playing against the worst team in the Championship, so I expect them to have some level of motivation. The visitors have only managed a win on the road this season and have lost 13. No magic will change this fate as relegation keeps calling for Luton. However, I expect both sides to find the net in this clash
