Bristol City vs Luton prediction: Hatters' helpless away form to continue?

  • Bristol City are winless in four games, losing twice.
  • Luton have remarkably lost their previous seven matches.
  • There has only been one draw in the last five H2Hs.

Correct score prediction: Bristol City 2-1 Luton

  • Home: 6/5 (2.20) – 45.5%
  • Draw: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Luton preview: Hatters in better form

Luton are actually in better form having won two of their last three matches, and another would lift them above their opponents and potentially into the top half of the table. However, their terrible away record of late threatens to stifle them once more.

Anis Mehmeti scored twice in Bristol City's last win in the Championship, and is their overall top scorer in the division. Indeed, the Albanian has managed a total of six goals so far in the 2024/25 campaign, and will be looking to make the difference against Luton at Ashton Gate.
