This is the highlight game of the League Two weekend as it is a top two clash. Nothing is separating them on points and Luton are top courtesy of their vastly superior goal difference. So there are some huge bragging rights up for grabs in this one and there may not be too much to split them at the end of the day. That having been said the bookmakers are expecting a home win as Luton are 17/20 odds to triumph, leaving Notts County as 18/5 underdogs.

Luton
Notts CountyLuton Form
Two more goals and Luton will have hit 50 goals for the season. That’s a phenomenal output from them from twenty games played so far. They have scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten league games now. They are on a three-match winning streak in the division and at home, they have won their last two games, scoring ten unanswered goals in the process. The Hatters are W8 D0 L2 at Kenilworth Road this season and they have averaged 3.4 goals per home game. That’s 80% of their home fixtures having gone over 2.5 goals and they have won half of their games to nil as well. They just keep going and with the output of Danny Hylton and James Collins who have 12 and 8 league goals respectively, they don’t look like slowing up.
Notts County Form
County are unbeaten in six league games now having alternated between a draw and a win in that sequence of games. Each of the wins happened at home, each of the draws happened on the road and they were all 1-1 draws which may offer value in the correct score market. County have a W4 D3 L3 record on the road this season and they have failed to win any of their last five on their travels now (D3 L2). So that will make them a little vulnerable. They have scored in all but one of their last nineteen league games though and defensively are only two goals worse off than Luton area. This is a big away game for them but their recent misfires on the road makes them underdogs for this heavyweight showdown.
Head to Head News
The Hatters collected four points from their League Two encounters with County last season but County have actually won two of the last four in League Two against the Hatters. Overall in the last six League Two clashes, things are even with two wins each and two draws.
Top Betting Tips
These are two good sides but still, the superior scoring power of Luton has to be sided with in this one. County have just lost their way out on the road recently and the Hatters are likely to seize the huge opportunity to open up a gap at the top of the table here.
