While Everton have managed to secure their survival in the Premier League, the same cannot be said for Luton Town, who will be hard-pressed to secure the points here. With just 1 point below the relegation line, it is all or nothing for the hosts, who despite a current run of horrid form may yet have some sort of hope to look up to.
Luton Town Team News
The Hatters will be looking to stay afloat in the Premier League and avoid the all-to-common fate of newly promoted sides – relegation in their first top-flight season. At home is where Luton has managed to win the majority of their points, yet they have managed to win just 3 of their last 10 Premier League home games all while losing 6 of them. What can be said about Luton’s home games is that they tend to feature goals as all of the last 5 games at Kenilworth Road have seen both hosts and guests scoring goals and on 4 occasions from these 5 over 2.5 goals. Yet if you were to look for Luton’s last clean sheet, you would have to go back 20 fixtures to their 0-0 draw with Bolton in the FA Cup.
Everton FC Team News
A recent purple patch for Everton has seen them jump from 2 points above Luton to 36 and safe from relegation. In a spectacular run of home form, The Toffees snatched the 3 points against relegation rivals Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Brentford. The cherry on the top – a win against their bitter rivals Liverpool which effectively threw Jurgen Klopp’s men out of the title race. Now away from the clutches of relegation, Everton can relax and try to fix their own horrid away form which has seen them without an away victory in their last 9 Premier League travels. Sean Dyche’s men have conceded at least a goal in all of their last 6 away fixtures and have managed to score in 3 of them.
Matchs en tête à tête
And we come to the one cause for hope for Luton – they have won their last 2 fixtures with Everton. Both games ended in 2-1 wins for The Hatters and both were played at Goodison Park. What Luton will be looking to do is translate this success against Everton on Kenilworth Road in a desperate bid for survival.

Luton Town – Everton FC Betting Prediction
I expect Luton to give it their best shot and go straight for the win. After all, survival is on the line for them and it might be a blessing in disguise that they will face off against an Everton side that has evaded relegation. Still, The Hatters have a notoriously leaky defence, even if they do manage to find the net regularly. The Toffees are also a team that has consistently conceded away from home but has also done a half-decent job of scoring as well. I expect this to be a typical Kenilworth Road fixture this season – with over 2.5 goals and both sides scoring a goal.
