Luton vs Aston Villa Prediction & Betting Tips (2 March)

As expected, Luton Town are fighting not to go down this season. The promoted team is now in 18th place in the Premier League with 1 game less and 4 points behind the first non-relegation team. After showing a slight start, Carlton Morris' teammates fell back into their bad habits during the last 3 days. They first carried out a very bad operation by losing against the red lantern Sheffield United 1-3 before losing more logically against the big names Manchester United 1-2 and Liverpool 4-1. This week, Luton Town suffered the law of the ogre Manchester City in the 8th final of the FA Cup 3-6. Aston Villa is currently 4th in the Premier League and has, with 1 game more, 5 points ahead of the 5th.

Qualification for the next Champions League therefore becomes a very credible objective. The Birmingham-based team have won 4 of their last 7 league matches, drawing 1 and losing 2. After losing at home against Manchester United 1-2, the Villans reacted during the last 2 days. Indeed, they picked up points against Fulham 1-2 and Nottingham Forest last weekend 4-2. Next Thursday, Aston Villa travels to Ajax in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa Conference League.

Luton Town is without important striker Adebayo, potential starters Andersen, Osho (defenders), Lokonga and Nakamba (midfielders) and substitute Jacob Brown (2 goals). In addition, victim of a heart attack in the middle of the match, captain Lockyer still has to wait. Finally, starting defender Bell and unused Potts and Johnson are doubtful. Recruited this winter, Japanese defender Hashioka (Saint-Trond) made his debut under his new colors this week.

The offensive sector is obviously very weakened by the loss of Adebayo (9 goals in the PL) but can count on the effectiveness of Carlton Morris (7 goals and 4 assists in the PL). In midfield, former Nice player Ross Barkley takes his place.
