Prediction published on 30/01/2024, 06:22  by Ian John in Premier League Predictions

The midweek set of Premier League games sees Luton Town host Brighton on Tuesday night with both sides coming into this game after great away wins. in the FA Cup Fourth Round over Premier League opponents. Luton went to Goodison Park and once again defeated Everton by a 2-1 scoreline, while Brighton travelled to Bramall Lane and comfortably beat Sheffield United 5-2, with their centre forward Joao Pedro scoring a hat-trick, including two penalties.

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has seen his side win draw and lose two of their last six games, although both wins have come in their most recent matches, both in the FA Cup with 2-1 road wins at Bolton and then Everton. In the Premier League, the Hatters have not played since a 1-1 draw with Burnley on the 12th January. The clubs supporters have certainly had their money's worth this season in terms of pure entertainment with Over 2.5 goals in over 65% of Luton's games and bot teams scoring in 75% of their games. That is the third highest percentage for both teams scoring in games in the Premier League with Tottenham (76%) and tonight's opponents Brighton (86%) being the only two teams with more examples of both teams finding the net. 

Brighton come into this game on the back of a four game undefeated streak and with the knowledge that they beat Luton 4-1 at the AMEX when the two teams met back in August. Four of the five goals scored that day came after the 70th minute mark, which suggests late drama could be on the cards on Tuesday night. The Seagulls have been involved in two consecutive 0-0 draws in the Premier League but before that put foru past Spurs in a 4-2 win and then won two FA Cup games on the road 4-2 at Stoke and 5-2 at Sheffield United. Those two goalless games have been the exception rather than the rule for Brighton this season, so goals are likely at Kenilworth Road.
