Luton vs Chelsea prediction 30.12.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 30th December 2023
• Kickoff: 12:30 UK / 13:30 CET
• Venue: Kenilworth Road (Luton)

Luton’s performance in their debut Premier League season has likely exceeded many expectations. Despite remaining in the relegation zone, they are only a single point away from safety, thanks to a series of strong recent games. Two of these matches contributed to six of their 15 points this season. In their last game, they secured a 3-2 victory against Sheffield United on their turf. Although the home side had an xG of 2.78 compared to Luton’s 0.58, the visitors’ near flawless performance earned them another significant win. Luton’s recent ability to score with ease points towards notable improvements in their attack.

If we consider only the names and values of the players, Chelsea should be among the top Premier League teams. However, since money can’t directly influence the scoring of goals, they are currently only a mid-table team. Fortunately, Chelsea has shown signs of improvement recently, winning three out of their last four matches. In their previous game, they secured a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace at home. Despite numerous opportunities to win, Chelsea ultimately required a penalty in the 89th minute to ensure a full three points.

Luton vs Chelsea pick: Luton to cover AH +1 spread

Luton has recently demonstrated strong performance, and Chelsea has also shown improvement. However, their positive results have been limited to their home stadium. Chelsea has suffered losses in their last four consecutive away games, which suggests they may find it challenging to defeat Luton on Saturday afternoon.
