Luton were famous for one thing last season – goals! Fans who headed to Kenilworth Road in the 2018/19 campaign were always entering the ground knowing that they would see goals for one team or the other.
With the average of 3.3 goals scored at the ground last year, this certainly should make for an interesting Championship opener this Friday night.
Last time these two sides met in the league it was Luton who came away with a comprehensive 5-1 win. That game took place back in the 1994/95 season and while we can’t use that game as an indicator, in a way it does add appetite to this already tasty encounter.
Boro finished seventh last season and missed out on a play-off spot by a single point. This is a side that is expected to finish well this season and the pressure is on for Jonathan Woodgate’s side to make a good start.
Looking at the betting, there are two bets which catch our eye. A draw is currently available at 43/20 while at the same time, both teams to score is priced at near even money. Bearing those priced in mind, these two bets are our recommendations in this Championship opener.
