Luton are now being heavily backed to win the League Two title this season. They extended their form in midweek with a fantastic away win out at top-three side Exeter and now Luton have full control at the top of the pile and they are on fire. Crawley are plodding through the mire in the bottom half of the table and just keep churning out unpredictable results like their home loss against bottom side Chesterfield in the week. Luton are even money to take the win, with Crawley out at 3/1.

Crawley Town FC
Colchester United FCCrawley Form
Crawley have been consistently inconsistent all season long and they have gone W1 D1 L1 in their last three and have collected only the two wins in their last nine league games now. It’s not been convincing from them and they don’t even have the home form to offer them some solace either. That is because they are on a four-match losing streak and home and in that sequence, they have scored just the one goal. Overall they have failed to score in four of their seven home fixtures this season in a W1 L6 record on home turf. It’s hard to see them challenging the league leaders having only netted for home goals all term. Their home defeat against bottom side Chesterfield in midweek said a lot.
Luton Form
The Hatters are on an eight-match unbeaten streak of form in the league now with a W7D1 record. They have been stepping on the gas lately as well having netted sixteen goals in their last four league games. After pounding the strong Stevenage side last weekend 7-1, they went to the powerful Exeter in midweek and smashed the Grecians 4-1 in a resounding statement of authority. Luton are six unbeaten away from home, winning three of the last four (D1). They have strong momentum going behind them now and they have the defence to back up their powerful attack lead by Danny Hylton and James Collins who are both sat on eight goals for the campaign.
Head to Head News
There was a home win for each last season between these two in League Two and from the four previous League Two encounters between them, Crawley are actually 3-1 up in the head to head. But it is hard to see Crawley rolling out a win in this one at the moment with the Hatters in brilliant form right now. Overall Crawley are 6-3 up with one drawn game in their ten previous meetings with Luton in all competitions.
Top Betting Tips
You would have to side with the Hatters going into this one because they are carrying form in every department. Crawley’s home form is disappointing at best and therefore Luton can go and win this one to nil (5/2 at bet365) to collect the points.
