This is going to be one of the highlights of the weekend in League Two. Both sides are in good form at the moment and are nestled inside the top five. So this is going to be something of a heavyweight showdown. Both of them have collected thirteen points in their last six matches but Accrington are holding a two-point lead over Luton in the standings. There are not going to be many quarters given in this one at the Crown Ground. Luton are 29/20 favourites at William Hill to win this with Accrington at 19/10.
Accrington Form
Accrington have gone unbeaten in four now with a W3 D1 record in that sequence. Five of the seven wins that they have recorded in League Two this season have been by a one-goal margin only and against an in-form Luton side, you wouldn’t see them winning this by anything bigger. At home, Stanley are winless in two following a shock defeat against Grimsby and a 1-1 draw against Cheltenham. Overall their record is W3 D1 L1 at home. 80% of their home games in the league have gone over the 2.5 goal line so we can expect goals. They have great scoring power through Kayden Jackson and Billy Kee who are both 6/4 in the anytime goalscorer market.
Luton Form
Luton are unbeaten in five games now in the division with a W4 D1 record on the board. They have collected three clean sheets in their last five games and they are just looking solid and confident in what they are going. The Hatters are unbeaten in their last four away games after losing their away opener at Barnet but have only gone W1 D3 in that sequence so they haven’t really discovered their winning touch away from Kenilworth Road yet. Still, they have conceded just one goal in their last three away games.
Head to Head News
Luton won this corresponding fixture 4-1 last season after winning their home game against Stanley as well. There hasn’t been a great deal of head to head history between these two but from what there has been, Luton are 3-2 up with three drawn matches across all competitions between them. The Hatters have a W1 D3 record form their four previous League Two visits to Accrington.
Top Betting Tips
It is worth backing the draw in this one to crop up just because there’s so little to chose between them. It should be a good competitive battle though, but it has the look of defences coming out on top in the fixture at the Crown Ground.
