Luton Town vs Crystal Palace prediction 25.11.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 25th November 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Kenilworth Road (Luton)

Just six seasons ago, Luton Town was playing in League Two, the fourth tier of English football. However, they consistently improved over time and earned a spot in the English top-flight division by finishing third in the Championship and progressing through the playoffs. This achievement marked a historic moment for the Hatters, reaching the Premier League after a 31-year absence. As expected, the Hatters are currently struggling, ranking 17th with just a single point above the relegation zone. Therefore, ensuring survival would be a huge accomplishment for them.

Crystal Palace has primarily been a mid-table team in the Premier League since their arrival in the 2013/2014 season, with little threat of relegation. Football experts largely forecast another similar season for the Eagles, and early indications seem to support this. Currently, they stand at 13th place with 15 points, a comfortable ten points clear of the relegation zone.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace pick: Both teams to score

Luton Town’s offensive performance this season has been less than impressive, having only managed to score ten goals in 12 matches. Their offensive stats are currently amongst the worst in the league, equal to Sheffield United and Fulham. However, they typically perform better at their home ground, Kenilworth Road, where they have succeeded in scoring at least one goal in five of their six home games. Hence, there is hope that they could score. Defensively, it’s a different story altogether, with few standout performances from the team. Despite playing 14 games in all competitions, they have yet to keep a clean sheet and it seems unlikely that this will change.

Crystal Palace, with their record of 12 goals in as many games, cannot be hailed as a formidable offensive team. However, they’ve shown a notable uptick in efficiency recently by netting five goals in their last three fixtures. It would indeed be surprising if they didn’t manage to score against a currently underperforming Luton Town. On the defensive front, their performance was rather subpar prior to the international break, conceding nine goals in four games &— an average of 2.25 per game.

Taking everything into account, we believe that betting on both teams to score is the most secure option for this match.
