Luton vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips (30 January)

Back in the elite this season, Luton Town is now in 18th place in the Premier League with 1 game less and 1 point behind the first non-relegation team. The renewed form shown over the past few weeks inevitably generates a lot of hope for the promoted team. Indeed, Ross Barkley's partners have only lost against Chelsea 2-3 in the last 4 days, for 2 victories and 1 draw. After this hitch, they had to settle for sharing the points at Burnley 1-1. Last weekend, Luton Town punched their ticket to the round of 16 of the FA Cup by winning at Everton thanks to a final goal scored in stoppage time 1-2. A nice surprise from the previous exercise, Brighton should have struggling to land a European jump seat via the championship this season.

7th in the Premier League, Roberto De Zerbi's men have had a very honorable run but are now 8 points behind 5th place. In slow motion for some time, they have only bagged one success in the last 6 days, for 4 draws and 1 defeat. After winning against Tottenham 4-2, the Seagulls shared the points with West Ham 0-0 and Wolverhampton 0-0. Last weekend they easily won at Sheffield United in the FA Cup 2-5. Leader of its Europa League group, Brighton is qualified for the round of 16.

Luton Town still has to deal with the loss of important defenders Lockyer (victim of a heart attack in the middle of the match) and Andersen as well as starting midfielder Nakamba. Furthermore, the side Issa Kaboré (Burkina Faso) is still with his selection for the CAN. As in the victory won in the FA Cup last weekend, attackers Adebayo (5 goals in PL) and Morris (4 goals in PL) could be associated. Luton Town is very calm in this winter transfer window with, for the moment, no major arrivals and departures. For Brighton, the promising Enciso, the full-back Veltman and the attackers March and Ansu Fati have yet to withdraw this weekend.

In addition, important wingers Mitoma (Japan) and Adingra (Ivory Coast) are currently with their selection. Last weekend, Brazilian striker Joao Pedro (7 goals and 2 assists in PL) stood out with a hat-trick against Sheffield United. This winter, Brighton got their hands on the promising Boca Juniors left-back Valentin Barco (19 years old). Also purchased during this transfer window, winger Mazilu was sent on loan (Vitesse Arnehm) as were midfielders Ayari (Blackburn) and Sarmiento (Ipswich).
