Luton to win
We kick off our tips for this game by backing Luton to win. The Hatters are a consistent side both in terms of results and performances, which is the complete opposite of what Watford are. Whilst Watford have lost three of their last five games, Luton have gone unbeaten in that period and that picture is largely unchanged when focussed on specific home and away form. Watford have won just two of their last five at home whilst Luton have won four of their past five away games without losing. With that considered, Luton look like the reliable bet.
Both teams will score
Watford might be up and down in terms of their results but, generally speaking, they know where the goal is and, as such, we think both teams will score here. The Hornets have scored in four of their last five games with a total of eight goals hitting the net. Luton meanwhile have also scored in four of their past five matches netting a total of nine goals. With both sides averaging north of one goal scored per game, both sides scoring here looks like a decent value bet.

Can inconsistent Hornets find their sting against Hatters?
There is nothing that shines a light on the inconsistency of this Watford side like their win/loss/draw record so far this season; from 15 games they've won five, drawn five and lost five. Unfortunately for them, the appointment of Slaven Bilic hasn't snapped that as he's fallen to three defeats in the five games he's overseen so far meaning his Watford side are now 15th. That said, they are only four points behind Luton who are fifth in the table serving as further proof as to how bonkers the Championship is.
This is a massive game for Watford and their ambitions to get back in the playoff hunt. They'll need to get a result without a few injured players though; Jeremy Ngakia and Tom Cleverley are the main two missing.
Watford Predicted lineup – Bachmann, Kamara, Troost-Ekong, Pollock, Gosling, Louza, Choudhury, Sema, Asprilla, Sarr, Davis
Luton are in a really good place right now and it could be better come kick off in this game with Gabriel Osho apparently back in contention for a place in the squad. Reece Burke and James Shea remain out.
Luton Predicted lineup – Horvath, Potts, Lockyer, Bree, Bell, Clark, Campbell, Onyedinma, Morris, Cornick, Doughty
