Luton Town v Leicester City

Luton Town v Leicester City Prediction

Best Bet: Nahki Wells to score anytime @ 7/5

Wells has been an important attacking presence for Luton this season, scoring six goals in 10 league appearances and offering a consistent goal threat.

The striker will be encouraged by Luton's recent attacking form, with the Hatters having netted 19 league goals this season and come into this fixture after a 2-1 victory over Barnsley.

Leicester's 4-0 win at Bromley was an impressive response, but the Ravens have struggled this season and that represents the Foxes only clean sheet in their last eight games.

With Wells leading the line and Luton likely to create opportunities at Kenilworth Road, backing the forward to score anytime appeals at 7/5.

Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 6/5

Both sides have shown they can find the net this season, with Luton having scored 19 league goals and Leicester 16.

Leicester arrive after putting four goals past Bromley, while Luton have also demonstrated their attacking potential in recent weeks having scored 14 goals in their last five games in all competitions, failing to keep a clean sheet in that run.

The visitors should provide a competitive test, particularly having done better on the road than at home, and if both teams adopt an attacking approach, this fixture could develop into an open contest.

    21/4

Luton will look to use home advantage to secure three points, with Wells offering a potential route to goal against Leicester.

The striker being the club’s top scorer makes him an appealing goalscorer selection, while a home win would reward those expecting the Hatters to build on their midweek success.

Over 10 corners completes the builder. In what is expected to be an open game, many set-piece opportunities await.

Both teams average over 10 corners per game, with Luton averaging 10.30 per game this season and Leicester 12.20.
