Bitesize Prediction: Luton Town vs Sheffield United – 10/02/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Luton win

Odds: 17/20 @ BetUS

In what is a real six-pointer at the foot of the Premier League table, Luton will welcome Sheffield United to Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Luton might still find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap, Rob Edwards’ side have continued to receive a string of plaudits this season. Last seen snatching a remarkable 4-4 stalemate away at Newcastle, the former Watford boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Skyrocketing their way out of the drop zone and certainly smelling a golden opportunity here, the Hatters are unbeaten in all of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Making a real statement on January 30th as they claimed a famous 4-0 romp against Europa League outfit Brighton, Luton have found a major clinical edge in the final third. Extending on their FA Cup adventure last month as they secured a 2-1 win against League One side Bolton, Saturday’s hosts have notched 12 goals in their last four showdowns. Likewise, keeping a clean sheet in three of their previous four contests at Kenilworth Road, Edwards’ men are rightfully tipped as a standout contender here.

As for the visitors, sat rock-bottom of the Premier League table and failing to find any kind of fluidity this season, it is no surprise that Sheffield United are pencilled in as a landslide relegation candidate. Last seen putting in a nightmare display at Bramall Lane as they were eventually hit with a 5-0 drumming at the hands of Aston Villa, Chris Wilder has an almighty job on his hands. In fact, crashing out of the FA Cup last month following a 5-2 defeat against Brighton, the Blades have now lost all of their previous three meetings against Premier League opposition by an aggregate score of 13-4. Mustering just 10 points from any of their 23 Premier League appearances this season and already sat 10 points adrift of safety, Sheffield United will also be worried by their most recent showdown against Luton. Falling to an action-packed 3-2 defeat when they welcomed Saturday’s hosts to town for their reverse top-flight battle on Boxing Day, we are expecting a similar outcome.
