Many were skeptical about Luton’s ability to compete at the Premier League level this season. However, after 23 rounds, they are a point clear of the relegation zone. Luton has had a good run in recent weeks, remaining undefeated for six matches until they fell 3-1 at home against Sheffield United last weekend. Despite having 75% ball possession and 20 shots on goal, the home side was outperformed by the more efficient visitors, leaving Luton without any points. Edwards’ team will strive to get back on course in their upcoming game against Manchester United.

Manchester United continue to weather a stormy season. Despite not performing at the expected level, Erik ten Hag’s squad is just six points shy of fourth-place Tottenham. Currently, Manchester United are enjoying their best run of the season, boasting four consecutive wins across all competitions. Their most recent victory came from a 2-1 away win against Aston Villa. Although the home team had a significantly higher expected goals (xG), United managed to secure all three points.

Luton vs Manchester United pick: Over 3.5 goals

In their most recent three matches, Luton netted nine goals, with each game seeing more than 3.5 goals. Conversely, Manchester United racked up 15 goals in the past five games. Therefore, betting on over 3.5 goals would likely be the best wager for this match.
