Luton Town vs Stoke City Prediction: Hatters to boost survival bid

The Championship clash between Luton and Stoke on Tuesday sees two sides in danger of being dragged into the relegation scrap meet at Kenilworth Road. Luton dropped down from the Premier League after one season in the top-flight and they sit just two points clear of the relegation zone in tier two.

The Potters are two points better off, but they are winless in five and have lost their last two. Read on for my Luton Town vs Stoke City prediction, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Double Chance & BTTS - Luton Town or draw and yes @ 6/5

Back-to-back relegations is a genuine threat for Luton right now, but their home form remains strong and they have just one defeat in their last eight at Kenilworth Road.

Stoke arrive winless in five and they have generally struggled on their travels. The Potters have just two wins in nine attempts away from home, losing five of those games.

The Hatters should be able to at least avoid defeat even if they are unable to snap their three-game winless run.

A clean sheet could be a step too far for Town, however, as they have the second worst defensive record in the division with 34 goals conceded in 19 games.

Stoke scored in defeat at Sunderland at the weekend and have netted in four consecutive away games, so the odds-against price on the hosts to get a result and concede appeals.

Jacob Brown to score anytime @ 11/5

Carlton Morris and Elijah Adebayo are the joint top scorers for Town this season with four goals each, and the latter may sit this game out, so it could pay to look a little further down the betting for an anytime scorer option and Jacob Brown is a man in form.

The Scotland international has three Championship goals for the season and two of those have come in his last five games.

Players also have a habit of raising their levels against their former clubs and this will be the first time Brown has faced his old employers since joining Luton in the summer of 2023. He may be able to mark the reunion with a goal.
