Luton Town vs Bolton Wanderers Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7th 2024

Luton Town are in action in the FA Cup third round when they play host to Bolton Wanderers at Kenilworth Road on Sunday.

Ian Evatt’s men head into the weekend on a run of four consecutive victories and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling

Luton Town were left with a sour taste of “what could have been” in their final game of the year as they fell to a 3-2 loss against Chelsea after netting two goals in the final 10 minutes.

Prior to that, Rob Edwards’ side were on a two-game winning streak, seeing off Newcastle United and Sheffield United respectively.

Luton are currently 18th in the Premier League standings and will be looking to kick off the new year on a high.

Elsewhere, Bolton Wanderers needed a second-half own goal from Jasper Moon to claim a 1-0 victory over Burton Albion on New Year’s Day.

With that result, Evatt’s men have now won four consecutive matches, scoring seven goals and keeping three clean sheets since a 2-1 loss against Bristol City on December 23.

Bolton now turn their attention to the FA Cup, where they have brushed aside Solihull Moors and Harrogate Town in the first two rounds, scoring nine goals and conceding once.
