Following back-to-back defeats to Tottenham and Arsenal. Luton will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on Matchday 32.

While Luton’s injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of Nakamba. Lockyer, Adebayo, Bell, Osho, Burke, and Ogbene.
The Cherries, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Premier League and given the number of absentees in the home team, away win should be considered. When the two teams at Vitality. Stadium earlier in the process Bournemouth recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Luton Town and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. As for the away team, Marco Senesi is a major doubt, while Chris Mepham should be fit for the match.

Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction
The 1-2 defeat at Spurs marked a run of ten consecutive Luton Town games in which both teams scored. We certainly have plenty of reasons to expect this trend to continue on Saturday. Especially knowing about the scenario from the previous head-to-head encounter between Luton and Bournemouth.
The Cherries will come into this in higher spirits. They won four and drew one of the previous five league clashes. However, we are not quite convinced in their victory here knowing how important this game is for Luton Town.
Instead, we will rather back the Over 3.5 goals FT bet as the main betting option at the odds of 2.20. Five of the last seven league games Luton played on the home turf saw at least four goals scored. The same scenario happened in five of Bournemouth’s previous seven away outings across competitions.
Dominic Solanke has been Bournemouth’s talisman this season. He has 16 goals in 30 Premier League appearances. He is now set to face one of the worst defensive lines in the top flight of English football. It is great to have him at the 2.30 odds to score anytime in these circumstances.
