ℹ️ Team News: Luton Town

Chiedozie Ogbene (unknown injury) and Tom Lockyer (heart problems) won’t be able to feature for Luton Town gaffer Rob Edwards.

In our view, The Hatters should kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Thomas Kaminski, Reece Burke, Teden Mengi, Daiki Hashioka, Issa Kabore, Alfie Doughty, Jordan Clark, Ross Barkley, Andros Townsend, Tahith Chong and Carlton Morris.

🗞️ Team News: Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Yunus Emre Konak (Adductor injury), Aaron Hickey (Hamstring injury), Christian Nørgaard (Back injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery), Kristoffer Ajer (Calf strain), Ben Mee (Ankle injury), Rico Henry (Knee injury) and Ryan Trevitt (Ankle surgery) are not ready for selection.

We believe The Bees seem likely to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, starting Mark Flekken, Mads Roerslev, Mathias Joergensen, Nathan Collins, Sergio Reguilon, Mathias Jensen, Vitaly Janelt, Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney and Yoane Wissa.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Luton Town certainly have the ability to score a goal against this Brentford team, however a single goal probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our tip is for a close game with a 1-2 advantage for Brentford after the 90. It should be a decent one.
