This is one of the best-looking games of the next round of League Two action as Luton and Newport clash at Kenilworth Road on Saturday. The Hatters are having a very good season sat up in fifth place ahead of the weekend, but they are level on points with the Welsh club and so there is a lot to play for in this one. Luton are unbeaten in four, while Newport seem to be over their little slump recently with back to back wins having been posted in the last week. This should be entering and Luton are 4/5 odds-on at William Hill to win it with Newport at 7/2.

Luton
NewportLuton Form:
The Hatters are now unbeaten in their last four league games and have lost just one of their last eight. So they are going well and at home this season they have produced a very strong W4 L1 record. They have produced back to back wins there since their surprise loss against Swindon. It’s not only that though, but Luton are really tight at the back with five clean sheets in their ten games this season and three in their last four. They have earned one in three of their five home games.
Newport Form:
Newport are going well then with the exact same W5 D3 L2 record as Luton have posted. The Welsh club have scored four fewer goals than Luton have though, but defensively are right there level with them. So there is not much to choose between the two clubs in this one. Newport have been a little patchy out on the road with a W2 D2 L2 record having been posted and they snapped back to back away defeats in midweek with a narrow win at the struggling Crawley. The Exiles have four clean sheets this season.
Head to Head News:
This should be a close contest though, but Luton are bossing the recent clashes in the head to head at Kenilworth Road between the two clubs. They are W3 D1 in their last four on home soil against the Exiles. Luton won this 2-1 last season and it will probably be that close again. Luton have never lost at home against Newport, posting a W4 D3 record from their seven previous hostings.
Top Betting Tips:
This could be a great game and Luton are the ones to back to take it. Both teams have done very well at the back this season but the Hatters seem to be going well enough on home soil to take this one. Newport have just had their struggles out on the road recently, so look for Luton to just edge it.
