Luton vs Manchester City Predictions

• 10 of Luton’s last 14 defeats have been by a one-goal margin
• Manchester City’s last two victories have been by one goal
• City won 2-1 when these two sides last met in December

Competitive contest in Bedfordshire

Premier League survival is Luton’s main aim this season, but they are also enjoying a strong run in the FA Cup, knocking out Bolton and Everton en route to the fifth round.

The Hatters have been improving as the season has gone on and they are competitive in all their matches, with 10 of their last 14 defeats being by just a solitary goal.

One of those losses was against City at Kenilworth Road in December and, for their part, the Citizens have not been at their best of late, following up a draw with Chelsea with narrow 1-0 victories over both Brentford and Bournemouth.

In the midst of a busy schedule, Pep Guardiola’s side may labour in this contest as well, which makes Luton a tempting option with a +2 start in the handicap market.

Deja vu at Kenilworth Road

Luton took the lead when these two sides met in the league in December through Elijah Adebayo, but City responded in the second half, with goals from Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish helping them to a 2-1 win.

There could be a repeat of that result on Tuesday, with Luton continuing to prove hard to beat and City struggling to put teams to the sword.

Both teams should certainly score, with Luton netting in eight matches on the spin, while it is 17 games and counting since City last failed to find the back of the net.
