Will our AI-powered score predict that Luton Town can stop conceding goals in round No. 28?
Palace are 14th in the standings, making this a six-point relegation affair. Eight points separate the two teams in the table. Palace are now under the management of Oliver Glasner, who has made a mark on the squad already.
Crystal Palace won their first match under Glasner’s leadership, 3-0, over Burnley. However, Palace fell 3-1 to Tottenham a week ago, allowing Spurs to come from a goal down to win the match.
Luton defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 earlier this season at Kenilworth Road. After a scoreless first half, Luton’s Tenden Mengi put the team into the lead.
Michael Olise equalised for Palace on 74 minutes. However, Luton’s Jacob Brown scored the winner in the 83rd minute.
Although Luton Town won, Crystal Palace had more possession (61%) and had more shots (16-8). Palace also had more shots on target (8-3).
The Hatters are on a four-game losing streak. However, their recent form on the road hasn’t been too bad. Luton had a record of 1W-2D-1L in their last four away games. They scored nine times and conceded nine times during those four fixtures.
Crystal Palace are playing well at home. They won three of their last four matches at Selhurst Park. Palace scored 10 times in those four games and conceded six goals.
Palace have three players tied for the top goal scoring lead. Odsonne Edouard, Michael Olise, and Eberechi Eze all have six goals. The Eagles do not score many goals per game. The team has 32 total goals for an average of 1.19 goals per match.
Luton’s goal scoring stats leader is Elijah Adebayo, with nine goals. However, Adebayo is unlikely to play due to a thigh injury. He hasn’t played since February 10.
Rob Edwards is unlikely to have at least nine players due to injuries for the trip to Palace. It is the wrong time of the campaign for Edwards to have so many first-team players out of action.
Glasner won’t have Olise due to a thigh injury. Jordan Ayew is a major doubt to play. Meanwhile, defensive midfielder Cheick Doucoure is ruled out of action following a calf strain.
Can Luton sneak a win at Palace or will they continue with their current losing streak? Our algorithm predicts a score of 2-1 in favour of Crystal Palace. The Eagles should get a second win under Glasner.
