Anybody looking for a betting bonus on the game should check out our exclusive sports betting tip. Our experts have assessed the formbook and looked at the key stats in order to bring you their prediction for the match.
As expected, it has been a tough start to life in the Premier League for Luton. Last week’s win at Everton moved them out of the bottom three, but a midweek defeat versus Burnley has brought them crashing back to Earth.
The long term problem for Hatters’ boss Michael Appleton is the lack of proven Premier League experience in his ranks. Luton have shown glimpses of being able to compete in the division, but are finding it tough to string together back to back performances.
Second place after eight games is far more than most Spurs fans could have expected at the start of the season. However, Ange Postecoglou has successfully reinvented Tottenham into a vibrant, attacking unit who are proving extremely tough to beat.
The likes of Son Heung Min, Yves Bissouma and Micky van de Ven are all at the top of their game and Spurs are producing some exhilarating football. Last week’s win over Liverpool will have boosted confidence even further and Postecoglou will be confident of taking all three points at Kenilworth Road.
The 11th of March 1992 was the last time Spurs and Luton played each other. That game finished 0-0, but Spurs have gone nine undefeated against the Hatters. The last Luton win came over 35 years ago, and overall they trail the head-to-head 33-22.

The latest betting odds for the game have Spurs as 4/9 favourites to win. A home win can be backed at 6/1, with the draw best priced at 4/1.
It’s hard to disagree with the bookies here. Simply put, Spurs are a far superior team and are playing at a very high level. Luton will make things tough for their opponents, but ultimately, Spurs will have more than enough for the three points.
Of course, 4/9 is a very short price for a Premier League game, so instead of just backing Spurs, we recommend using this selection as part of your weekend acca. Good luck!
