Preston North End Luton Town betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 17^th position of the league, with 1 point won. In their debut they lost in a home match against Burnley, by (1‑4). In the second round, they tied in an away match against Portsmouth, by (0‑0). In the last 10 away matches Luton has tied 3 and lost 7. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 12 of their 29 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Luton Town enters this match following a goalless draw away at Portsmouth. The visiting team typically plays in a 3-4-3 formation, with Tahith Chong, Carlton Morris, and Elijah Adebayo as the three forwards. The team faces two significant challenges: converting goal-scoring opportunities and defending against attacks that come through the flanks. Missing from this game will be Thomas Kaminski, who is suspended, along with Marvelous Nakamba, Reece Burke, Jacob Brown, Mads Andersen, and Daiki Hashioka, all of whom are injured.

Confirmed Lineup: James Shea, Teden Mengi, Mark McGuinness, Amari Bell, Shandon Baptiste, Alfie Doughty, Jordan Clark, Elijah Adebayo, Carlton Morris, Chiedozie Ogbene, Tahith Chong.
Coach: N. Jones.
