Luton vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
What is the shortest route to the Europa League in the motherland of football? Clearly the EFL Carabao Cup! And yet this competition is just a chore for almost all the top teams in the English Premier League. Unlike the FA Cup, the cup competition has far less reputation. This week the games of the third round are on the program. In the north of the capital London there is a duel between the second division Luton and Leicester City!
Due to the relatively low reputation of the cup competition are falling over favorites in the EFL Cup is not uncommon. The favorites often play with a B-Elf, while the underdog traditionally does not need extra motivation. Because of this fact, we would not recommend bets on the favorites in these games. The game starts on Kenilworth Road on Tuesday at 19:45.
Luton:
Anyone who has already made a cheap city trip in London or informed about it, Luton is quite a concept. With many low-cost airlines, the Luton airport is the destination for London travelers. The city, located north of London, has been waiting for football at the highest level for almost 30 years.
In the 1991/92 season Luton last played in the highest league. In the meantime, the club even lost the professional status, before in recent years, a success was to announce. In the last two seasons, the traditional club managed the march of the fourth league back into the championship. In the hardest second league in the world, relegation is the big goal this season.
Despite recent success, there is little continuity to report. Nathan Jones led the club into the third division, Mick Harford managed to return to the championship and since this season Graeme Jones is responsible for the sporting achievements.
The championship will be a tough fight for Luton until the end of the season. The first eight rounds saw two wins, one draw and five defeats. With currently seven points, the climber is in 21st place – and thus would have fixed the league gossamer.
With 28 goals (12: 16 goal difference) in the first eight games the fans were offered a lot of spectacle. At the front, the Jones-Elf always comes up with chances, defensive but the opponent is also formally invited to score goals.
Luton’s final duel with a Premier League team dates back to 2007, when the “Hatters” met Everton FC’s Tofffees and were beaten just short of extra time. There are always surprises in the EFL Cup, so Luton and Leicester could also be tipped to double the 1X chance.
Leicester:
Third place behind Liverpool FC and Manchester City currently belong to the Foxes of Brendan Rodgers. The former Liverpool coach floats on a wave of success with Leicester City. The strong results have already emerged at the end of last season.
The Rodgers-Elf could preserve this form and presents itself strong in the season so far. Despite a backlog, last weekend saw a 2-1 victory against last year’s Champions League finalist Tottenham. James Maddison fixed with a goal of the mark “dream gate” the late victory against the Spurs. A few moments later he had to leave the field and will miss against Luton.
In the League Cup Leicester has always been hard at the last appearance. For the past four away games in the EFL Cup three penalties have been decided on penalties. Among other things, the game in the second round, as Leicester prevailed against PL rival Newcastle United in St. James Park.
Rodgers will use this game to give a chance to many second tier players. A special game is for newcomer James Justin, who moved from Luton to Leicester this summer. The youngster will probably play against his former club for the first time for Leicester. Wes Morgan, Christan Fuchs, Danny Ward, Dennis Praet and Marc Albrighton are other candidates for minutes of use against the second division.
The football under Brendan Rodgers is not necessarily an offensive style of play. Nevertheless, the team always comes back to opportunities through fast switching game. Likewise, standards are a big weapon in the game of Foxes. There are certainly chances to score, but Leicester also has problems on the defensive. Accordingly, between Luton and Leicester the prognosis for hits of both teams is quite appropriate.
