While Luton is coming off a recent string of disappointing finishes, Liverpool is almost the complete opposite. With four back-to-back wins under their belt, the fourth-place Reds are looking to use Luton as a springboard to the top of the standings.
This soccer game is a complete mismatch. While Luton has one of the worst attacking records in the Premier League, Liverpool is sitting firmly in third. No matter what line you look at, offensive, midfield, or defensive, Luton has little to no chance.
In all honesty, Mohammed Salah, scoring 8 goals in 10 matches so far this season, will have a field day with this weaker Luton squad that’s struggling to avoid relegation. The only saving grace for the Hatters is that Stefan Bajcetic, Andrew Robertson, and Thiago Alcantara are still out of this soccer match.
Luton is certainly going to get a warm welcome from Liverpool in their first-ever head-to-head meeting.

Luton vs Liverpool Prediction and Odds
- Pick: Liverpool to win
- Odds: -385 (TonyBet)
In all likelihood, Luton’s first meeting with Liverpool will end in a complete stomp. Just look at their recent 3-1 performance against Aston Villa, which is a team on par with Liverpool.
Luton is new to the Premiership, only being promoted in the 2022-2023 season, meaning they have a ways to go before competing with the big boys. There’s a reason bookmakers put +950 for them to win this match. Again, the raw offensive output of Liverpool’s front line will be far too much for the Hatters to handle.
However, Luton could definitely score a goal or two in this match, as Liverpool’s still missing their defensive cornerstone, Andy Robertson.
Overall, you can expect a high-scoring soccer match as Liverpool warms up for their key match against Manchester City later in the month.
Luton vs Liverpool Betting Tips
- Pick: Over 3.5 goals
- Odds: -103 (Tonybet)
Considering Liverpool’s last several showings, it’s not a stretch to expect this game’s total score to exceed 3.5 goals. Mohammed Salah’s excellence, combined with Liverpool’s relatively softened defence, will leave plenty of room for scoring in this match.
That being said, Alisson Becker will most likely give Luton a hard time, as his play has been exemplary over the last couple of months. He is still easily one of the best goalies in the Premier League.
Nonetheless, expect a scoreline similar to Luton’s last match against Aston Villa, where they got blown out 3-1. It would be surprising to see the total scoreline fall under 3.5 with Liverpool’s offensive masterclass they have been putting on this far into the season.
Luton vs Liverpool Betting Trends
Before placing a bet on the upcoming match, consider these trends: Liverpool has won eight out of its last 10 matches, beating out several teams that defeated Luton. This suggests that Liverpool will win.
In the second half of games, Liverpool wins 70% of the time, mounting two separate comeback victories. This means Liverpool will likely win the second half against Luton.
