The Hatters really can’t get their away form up and running as they were held to a draw at Stevenage on the weekend. Still, they are handily positioned at the top of the table but are coming under increasing pressure from both Accrington and Wycombe. Luton needs to respond with points in this one, but they meet a Crawley side who have been bitten by the winning bug lately.

Luton
CrawleyLuton Form:
The Hatters are W4 D1 L2 in their last six league games so they haven’t been as consistent as they would like. They are just grinding a bit, but they took a win in their last home game, knocking down Exeter 1-0. The Hatters have posted a W12 D1 L3 record this season on home soil in the division and have gone W4 L1 in their last five at Kenilworth Road. Their last two home wins have both been by a 1-0 scoreline and five of their last six home wins in the league have all been with a clean sheet. If they get the three points in this one then it is probably not going to be a big margin at all, because the visiting Crawley are in great form at the moment. Luton have conceded an average of a goal per game this season, but have clean sheets in exactly half of their sixteen home games. The Hatters have scored in each of their last eight home games and average 2.8 goals per game themselves which is fantastic. They are going to need to stay sharp in this one because they will get a challenge, but they do have the best home record in the division.
Crawley Form:
Crawley have been in fantastic form recently with seven wins in their last eight games (L1) and they took a solid 3-0 home win over Grimsby on the weekend to make it four wins in a row for their current league form. Each of those games produced three goals exactly as well. Away from home Crawley have won three of their last four games, each of those victories coming by a 2-1 victory and both teams to score in this one has to be a really viable option. Crawley have scored in each of their last five road games while they have conceded in each of their last eight on the road. This should be a pretty entertaining game therefore and each of Crawley’s last six away games have made it up and above 2.5 goals. 62% of their away games have gone over the 2.5 goal line so there’s a good betting trend to jump on there. Over the last eight league games in the division, no-one has collected more points than Crawley have, that is how well they are going. Three points could see them edge ever closer to that top seven.
Luton v Crawley Head to Head News:
Luton and Crawley played out a 0-0 draw at Broadfield earlier in the season and that was just the eleventh game between the two of them. From those previous matchups, Crawley are 6-3 up over the Hatters with two drawn matches. Crawley have won three of their last four visits to Kenilworth Road in all competitions.
Top Luton v Crawley Betting Tips:
There may be something in this for Crawley and right now they are looking a little bit of value to go and pull off an upset at Kenilworth Road. Luton just aren’t quite at their best at the moment and with Wycombe recently beating them at home, there is every chance that the in-form Reds can go and get a huge three points for themselves in midweek.
