Luton - Bournemouth

England Premier League - Kenilworth Road

Here are our Premier League predictions for Saturday's clash between Luton and Bournemouth. The Cherries have their sights set on a mid-table finish this season after doing enough in recent weeks to take them out of the relegation battle but hosts Luton are well and truly in the thick of it at the bottom of the table.

Luton vs Bournemouth predictions: Goals expected at Kenilworth Road

Key Stats

• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the last three meetings between these two clubs, while four of Luton's last six outings as well as three of Bournemouth's last four fixtures have witnessed at least three goals.
• Luton have drawn two of their last five in the Premier League, while Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last five league games, so you can see why we've backed this game to end all square.
• The last three encounters between Luton and Bournemouth have seen both teams score, while each of the host's last six fixtures and three of the visitor's last four matches have also seen both teams score.

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Bournemouth are the expected winners of this game with a probability of 48.8%, but we are expecting a close game between the pair.

Luton lost 2-0 away at Arsenal in midweek and have now lost four and drawn two of their last six league games, while Bournemouth won 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace in their lat game, making it four wins, one draw and one defeat from their last six in all competitions.

Player to watch – Ross Barkley

Ross Barkley has really impressed for Luton this season, providing the creative spark and driving force from midfield.

The former Everton and Chelsea man has chipped in with four goals and four assists in the Premier League this season, and his performances have brought him to the attention of a number of top clubs who might just make a move for the former England international this summer.

Attracting interest from bigger clubs

We're backing Barkley to put in another impressive display this weekend against Bournemouth, even though it might not be enough to guide his team to the win they really want and need.
