The Hatters are still the favourites to walk away with the League Two title this season but they have lost two of their last three games in the division. So are there signs of cracks starting to appear? Those defeats were on the road though and their home form remains very strong. That’s bad news for Morecambe who are down in the bottom six in the league. However, they have received with a three-match unbeaten streak of form.

MorecambeLuton Form
The Hatters still remain on course for a title challenge in this campaign, however, they have lost two of their last three, going down surprisingly against Port Vale and then strugglers Chesterfield last weekend. Luton failed to score in both of those losses as well, but they were out on the road and Luton’s home form is strong with them having won their last two there and they have gone unbeaten in their last five at Kenilworth Road. Their overall home form is W10 D1 L2 for the season. They have laid down some powerful scoring at home throughout the course of the season, as they are averaging over three goals per game in the league at home. 38% of their home games have gone over 3.5 goals and they have done well defensively too with them having conceded an average of just one goal per game, keeping a clean sheet in 46% of their fixtures.
Morecambe Form
The Shrimps have put together a three-match undefeated streak in the division to put some distance between themselves and the drop zone. Not a lot, but some. They collected a win in their last away game which was out at Grimsby on January 6th and that snapped their five-match winless streak away from home. It was, however, just their second road victory of the season, so they aren’t likely going dig out a victory in this. The Shrimps have scored in each of their last eight league games though, however, they have averaged under a goal per game away from home this season in League Two. But with them having netted in each of their last four away games, both teams to score may be a decent bit of value to weigh up here. Morecambe have opened the scoring just three times on the road this season so are likely to end up chasing the game.
Head to Head News
Luton are unbeaten in their last five games against the Shrimps now and they are well up in the head to head. Overall from all meetings, which have all been in League Two incidentally, Luton are 5-2 up with two drawn matches. The Hatters are W2 D1 L1 in their four previous home fixtures against the Shrimps.

Top Betting Tip Luton v Morecambe
Luton’s home form has been pretty impeccable and they should be able to get the win on the board in this one. They have shown no sign of slowing up at all at Kenilworth Road and a 2-0 correct score for the home side has some pretty big appeal against a side who have struggled for wins away from home this season.
