Luton Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction 2024-01-30
Kenilworth Road will host Tuesday’s Premier League game between Luton Town and Brighton, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Hatters are eager to escape the relegation zone and their display in the FA Cup win over Everton is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the midweek clash. Issa Kabore is on international duty, Marvelous Nakamba misses out with injury, while Mads Juel Andersen is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, rolled over Sheffield United 5-2 in the FA Cup last 32 and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As Luton are capable of finding the net in front of home fans, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Ansu Fati is rated doubtful for the match, while both Simon Adingra and Kaoru Mitoma are on international duty.
