Luton Town vs Portsmouth Prediction: Both sides expected to score

Luton Town hope to end a 13-game winless run when they welcome Portsmouth to Kenilworth Road on Saturday. The last two games between these two sides ended in draws. Can this game follow suit? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Luton Town

Luton Town suffered a 2-0 loss to Watford in their last game to extend their winless run to 13 in a row. Things haven’t been better for them in front of their home fans, as they have remained winless in their last five games at home. They sit at the bottom of the table with 28 points in 34 games, scoring 31 goals and conceding 55. However, Kal Naismith and Mark McGuinness are doubtful for this game, while Reece Burke, Daiki Hashioka, and Teden Mengi are ruled out of this game.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth secured a 2-1 win over QPR in their last game, with goals from Josh Murphy in the 48th minute and Matt Ritchie in the 51st minute before Jimmy Dunne gave QPR a consolation goal in the 74th minute. They have won their last three games but only one of their last 13 games on the road. They sit 17th on the table with 39 points in 34 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 56. However, Callum Lang (hamstring), Conor Shaughnessy (hamstring), Freddie Potts (calf), Jacob Farrell (leg), Paddy Lane (knee), and Ibane Bowat (unknown) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

It will be hard to back either side in this game due to their poor form. The visitors won their last three games, but their form on the road is bad. Regardless, I expect Portmouth to win or draw. However, I expect goals from both sides, even though Luton have seen less than three goals in their last six games.
