Luton vs Stoke: Our top betting predictions
Luton's midweek win over Cardiff moves them up to fourth in the Championship table. Will they build on that again here as they host Stoke? Find out with our Luton vs Stoke match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.
Calling it even
We kick off our predictions for this game by backing the points to be shared. Luton come here in reasonable form having won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games. Stoke though are in a good place too with three wins from their last five games. Luton's form and home advantage give them an edge but that's is cancelled out somewhat by the head to head record; Stoke have won four of the last five meetings between the sides. For those reasons, we are sitting firmly on the fence. Draw.
Goals galore
Our next tip for this game comes from the total goals market and we fancy this game to be an entertaining affair hence we're predicting over 2.5 goals. We've already touched on both sides being in good form, which helps from a goalscoring perspective, but their games have been fairly high scoring of late too. Luton have seen three of their last five go over 2.5 goals with a combined goal haul of 15; that's an average of 3.0 goals per game. As for Stoke, each of their last four game have all gone over 2.5 goals but their game average is even stronger than that of their hosts at 3.8 goals per game.
Here are the key stats & form guide for Luton vs Stoke
So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game and how might that impact your view of our predictions? Let's find out.
Luton odds: 5/4 (2.25) – 44%
Draw odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 31%
Stoke odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 31%
The most interesting takeaway from the above match result odds is perhaps that the bookies have a draw and Stoke win valued at the same level. Luton meanwhile are favourites to win this game but not by a huge margin hence the odds coming in north of the evens (2.00) line. What really caught our eye though was the total goals odds, the bookies have this down as a low scoring affair with the under 2.5 betting option heavily odds on; we think that puts huge value on the over 2.5 option.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Luton vs Stoke
Luton
Luton are missing some really important players due to injury right now – namely Luke Freeman, Sonny Bradley and Henri Lansbury – but they show no signs of slowing down. After a solid win in the week against a Cardiff side buoyed by a managerial change, an unchanged lineup could be the order for this game.
Predicted lineup – Horvath, Burke, Lockyer, Bell, Drameh, Clark, Doughty, Woodrow, Mpanzu, Morris, Adebayo
Stoke
Stoke were a class act in their last league outing as they hit Reading for four. With such a performance in recent memory they won't be making any major adjustments to their XI and that likely means we can expect to see them set up in a 3-4-3 formation as they look to take the game to their hosts.
Predicted lineup – Bonham, Wilmot, Jagielka, Fox, Tymon, Smallbone, Laurent, Baker, Campbell, Gayle, Brown
Starting Lineups
*Starting lineups are usually announced one hour prior to kick off.
Player to watch
We know 32-year-old Dwight Gayle is a capable goal scorer at this level of football after he hit 24 goals for West Brom a few years back. He's since been bench warming a division above and found himself low on confidence and in a serious dry patch. That ended last time out. If that's reinvigorated him the the Luton backline can expect a tough old 90 minutes!
