Fulham vs Luton Town Predictions, Odds & Sports Betting Tips 16/09/2023

Fulham will be looking for their second win of the season when they host winless Luton at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon. The Hatters are yet to pick up a point this season as they attempt to adapt to life in the top flight.

Meanwhile, the Cottagers are gradually overcoming the loss of talismanic striker Aleksandar Mitrovic as they begin their second consecutive season in the Premier League.

It’s been an up-and-down start to the season for Fulham. A fine win at Everton and a battling draw at Arsenal have been mixed with heavy defeats to Brentford and Manchester City. Boss Marco Silva did a fantastic job in achieving a top ten finish last season, but replicating that feat this time around looks like a tall order.

Nevertheless, Silva will be confident that his side will have enough quality to get past the Hatters on Saturday. Holding onto Joao Paulinha on deadline day could prove crucial to their hopes, and the Portuguese star is expected to return to the lineup this weekend.

The season has only just started, but it already looks like it will be a very difficult one for the Hatters. Three defeats from three games have left them mired in the relegation zone, and in truth, they have rarely threatened to get off the mark.

A lack of Premier League quality is severely hindering boss Rob Edwards’ ability to develop a team capable of avoiding a swift return to the Championship. Edwards will be hoping that a point (or more) on Saturday will give the Hatters lift-off for the rest of the campaign.

The last time the two sides met at Craven Cottage, Fulham thrashed their opponents 7-0. In fact, the Cottagers are unbeaten in seven games against Luton, a run that goes back to 1998. They also lead the overall head to head by 30 wins to 22.

The football betting odds for the game have Fulham as short priced favourites at 13/18. Most betting apps have the draw at around 3/1 with Luton as long as 19/4 to pull off an upset.

It’s hard to make a case for anything other than a home win here. Yes, Fulham have stumbled a bit recently, but let’s face it, most teams suffer at the Etihad, so it’s hard to read much into that result. Their performance at the Emirates was hugely impressive and if they can get anywhere near the level on Saturday, they will have too much for Luton.
