Luton Town v Aston Villa: Match Preview & Odds

Luton Town host Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend in a must-win fixture for both clubs. As we look ahead to Saturday's match at Kenilworth Road, we will provide the latest pre-match odds and free bet offers from our partners at William Hill as well as the latest team news, match insights and expert betting tips.

Form

Luton Town’s hopes of Premier League survival were dealt a real blow this week as Everton’s reduced points deduction threatens to cut Luton Town adrift of safety. Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, Luton Town are four points from safety with 20 points from their 25 matches.

The Hatters are winless in five matches in all competitions, including each of their last four Premier League games. In midweek an Erling Haaland-inspired Manchester City earned a dominant 6-2 win at Kenilworth Road to dump Luton Town out of the FA Cup.

Aston Villa are Saturday’s visitors to Kenilworth Road and head there in a far better position than their hosts. Unai Emery’s side have earned back-to-back Premier League wins over Fulham (2-1) and Nottingham Forest (4-2) to cement their place in the top four.

In the race for Champions League qualification, Aston Villa hold a five-point advantage over Tottenham Hotspur in fifth place thanks to a return of 52 points from their 26 matches.

Luton Town v Aston Villa: head-to-head

Luton Town’s spell out of the top-flight meant head-to-head matches between The Hatters and Aston Villa had been restricted to just two League Cup fixtures in 30 years before this season. Aston Villa’s only trip to Kenilworth Road since 1992 produced a shock 3-1 win for Luton Town in the 1st round of the 2016/17 League Cup.

In this season’s Premier League, the reverse fixture between the sides at Villa Park ended in a 3-1 home win thanks to goals from John McGinn, Moussa Diaby and a Tom Lockyer own goal.

Betting tips

Luton Town v Aston Villa will be shown live on Sky Sports and we believe the viewers are in for a treat at Kenilworth Road. Luton Town’s last six matches in all competitions have produced an average of 5.33 goals per game whilst Aston Villa’s last six have averaged 4.16 goals per game. Over 2.5 match goals looks a certainty at 2/5 and over 3.5 match goals or even over 4.5 match goals should be given real consideration at 6/5 or 5/2 respectively.

Luton Town have gone five straight games without a clean sheet whilst Aston Villa are on a four-game run without a shutout. Both teams to score is excellent value at 4/9.

Given that we’re expecting a large number of goals on Saturday evening, there will be plenty of value in the various goalscorer markets. Aston Villa forward, Ollie Watkins is the standout choice having netted three goals in Aston Villa’s last two Premier League games to take his tally up to 14 league goals for the season - a record bettered only by Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah. Here are some betting markets featuring Ollie Watkins worth some real consideration.

In the long-term absence of captain, Tom Lockyer, Luton Town’s vice-captain, Carlton Morris has led by example in recent weeks. The 28-year-old has three goals in Luton Town’s last four Premier League games to take his tally up to 7 league goals for the season. Morris could be a shrewd choice at 11/5 to score at any time on Saturday.
