We’re in the endgame now. The Premier League season has entered the final stretch with just eight or fewer games remaining for the majority of clubs. There’s a lot on the line at both ends of the table, as we know, and we’re bound to see plenty of twists and turns in the weeks to come. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Luton Town and Bournemouth.
Luton Form GuideLuton Town fans are on cloud nine right now as they continue to enjoy life in the Premier League. When you put that alongside their success in the FA Cup, we’d say this is shaping up to be a pretty fun season for the Hatters. The priority, of course, is staying in the top flight, and we’d say they are looking good in that quest as we head into the final stretch of the season.
Luton’s recent results do not tell the full story of how well they’ve been playing but at the same time, they need to start being more clinical. They drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest to run alongside narrow defeats to Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Tottenham and Arsenal.
Bournemouth Form GuideBournemouth enjoyed a purple patch a while back and many felt as if they were destined to push on to bigger and better things. In recent weeks, though, they’ve fallen back a bit, but they’re still far clear of the relegation picture. In the months ahead, it'll be interesting to see how they approach things given their position in the league, with a potentially massive summer window ahead.
Since losing to Leicester in the FA Cup, Bournemouth have looked really solid. Outside of a 2-2 draw with Sheffield United, they’ve been able to pick up nice wins over Burnley, Luton, Everton and, most recently, Crystal Palace during the week.
Match PredictionFor Luton, the time is now to really kick on and make a push for survival. For Bournemouth, they’re playing with a certain freedom that could see them vault into the top half if they keep the pressure up. In terms of a prediction, we’re going to play it safe here and push for a draw.
