Newcastle vs Luton Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Returning to the forefront last year, Newcastle are less to their advantage this season and should have difficulty securing a European folding seat. What is certain is that qualification for the next Champions League appears illusory today, 11 points behind the Big 4. This week, the Magpies carried out a great operation by winning on the pitch of Aston Villa 1-3. This result does them a lot of good since it puts an end to a bad series of 4 defeats in a row in the championship. Last weekend, Newcastle qualified for the next round of the FA Cup following their 0-2 victory at Fulham. Back in the elite this season, Luton Town is logically fighting not to go down.

The promoted team is currently 17th in the Premier League and, with 1 game less, is 1 point ahead of the first relegated team. Authors of a difficult start to the championship, Ross Barkley's teammates have, however, shown more consistency in recent weeks, as evidenced by the only setback suffered in the last 5 days, for 3 victories and 1 draw. This week, they made their mark by inflicting a real correction on Brighton 4-0. Last weekend, Luton Town qualified for the next round of the FA Cup by winning at Everton 1-2.

For this meeting, Newcastle remains without the captains Pope and Joelinton, the potentially starting midfielder Anderson and the replacement full-back Targett. Added to this are the uncertainties surrounding the presence of attackers Isak and Wilson, defender Lascelles, midfielder Willock and long-term missing winger Barnes. Furthermore, midfielder Tonali continues to serve his suspension.

In the offensive sector, we should find the influential Gordon (7 goals and 5 assists in PL). This winter, replacement full-back Manquillo (Celta Vigo) and midfielder Hayden (QPR) left the club.
