Luton Town vs. Burnley betting odds
- Luton Town 29/20
- Draw 12/5
- Burnley 15/8
Luton Town are the favourites in the betting against their promotions rivals Burnley.
The Hatters might have been shorter given their home advantage.
But given a poor pre-season, the loss of key midfielder Ross Barkley, and a defensive injury crisis, Luton are longer odds than expected at 29/20.

Luton Town vs. Burnley predictions
Rob Edwards' Luton had a mixed pre-season, winning just one from five.
Burnley drew both their matches. Although they did also play four behind closed doors matches as well.
The Clarets look in better knick and we see them getting their new season off to a winning start.
Luton Town vs. Burnley betting tips
Onto our goals betting tips, and we expect to see goals at both ends.
Only one of Luton’s pre-season fixtures saw under 2.5 goals scored. And although Scott Parker will play a less attacking style than Kompany, we still expect the Clarets to score plenty of goals this season.
Over/under 2.5 goals betting tips
The bookmakers can't decide in the over/under 2.5 goals betting, both over and under is 17/20.
Over 2.5 goals is a great value bet at this price.
- Tip - Over 2.5 goals @ 17/20
Over/under 3.5 goals betting tips
No such issues in over/under 3.5 goals betting, where unders is the clear favourite at 1/3 and over is 9/4.
However, we are opposing the bookmakers and say backing overs is worth the risk.
Luton were very attacking in the Premier League last season.
And with injury problems in their back line, we can see them adopting an attack is the best form of defence policy against the Clarets.
- Tip - Over 3.5 goals @ 9/4
