Two of the best teams in League One go head to head when league leaders Luton Town welcome second-placed Portsmouth to Kenilworth Road.
Luton may be the favourites in the betting ahead of this almighty League One clash however, the hosts are without a win in eight league encounters against Portsmouth. In fact, their last league victory over Pompey came in 1995 when both sides were playing second tier football.
Away from the league, Luton did cost Portsmouth a place in the third round of the FA Cup last season with a 1-0 win on home turf.
Looking at their recent record in League One, Luton certainly have the right to feel confident heading into this fixture. Mick Harford’s side are unbeaten in their last 16 games, making this the longest current run in League One.
Things were going similarly well for Portsmouth up until the last few weeks. Two straight defeats to Oxford and Blackpool have seen Pompey slip down the league table – they will go back to the top with a win.
In terms of the betting, there is little value to be found with Luton. They are firmly backed by the bookmakers and are priced around the 11/8 mark.
Portsmouth, on the other hand, are 21/10. With such a massive price, the visitors are the recommendation in this game.
Another way to bet would be to look at the winning margins. Previous three encounters have all been decided by a goal and the current price on Portsmouth to win by one goal is 7/2.
