Our pick: Bournemouth – Luton: Goals: +2,5

13.03.2024 20:30

Bournemouth salvaged a point at home to Sheffield Wednesday (2-2) last round thanks to Enes Unal’s first goal for the club, but the Cherries were understandably unhappy not to get all three in their clash with the last team in the table. They will be able to make amends against another relegation zone opponent as Luton, who claimed a point at Crystal Palace (1-1), travel to their stadium.

Andoni Iraola’s charges last won at home in the league on 26 December, but they still have enough of a lead to reach the relegation zone. However, pulling off a two-goal deficit in the final 20 minutes can now serve as a springboard to better performances and perhaps even more goals scored. Bournemouth have only scored 14 times at home in 13 games.

Luton have scored away in six league games in a row, but have failed to win their last four (0-2-2). The problem is mainly a leaky defence, which has already conceded 30 goals on the opponents’ ground (score 17:30), nine of them in the last three such games. Overall, Luton have not won in six league encounters in a row and their rescue is getting complicated.

What to bet on:

Round 17 could be rich in goals. Bournemouth picked themselves up at the end of their last home game, beating Burnley (2-0) a week earlier. Luton have then conceded 14 goals in their last four competitive appearances, which the home side should take advantage of.

Confidence:

7/10
