ℹ️ Team News: Luton Town

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Luton Town manager Rob Edwards to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Tom Lockyer (heart problems) won’t play.

It’s our opinion that The Hatters could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, utilising Thomas Kaminski, Reece Burke, Teden Mengi, Daiki Hashioka, Issa Kabore, Alfie Doughty, Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, Ross Barkley, Jordan Clark, Tahith Chong and Carlton Morris.

🗞️ Team News: Bournemouth

We’re of the thinking that The Cherries will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Neto, Adam Smith, Illia Zabarnyi, Lloyd Kelly, Milos Kerkez, Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook, Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Dominic Solanke.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Luton Town are certainly able to get a goal against this Bournemouth outfit, but one goal possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re therefore tipping a narrow 1-2 winning margin for Bournemouth at the end of the match. Looking forward to this.
