Luton Town Preview & Form
Luton Town recently ended their winless run of 10 games in the Premier League by earning a 2-1 victory against Bournemouth at Kenilworth Stadium. Morris scored the winning goal in the 90th minute. Despite the win, the Hatters are still two points away from safety, but they have the same number of points as Nottingham Forest. Luton has won six games, drawn seven, and lost 19 out of the 32 games they have played so far this season.
In their past five matches, Luton’s performance has been inconsistent, with one win, one draw, and three losses.
