Luton Town vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Tips | December 23rd 2023

Luton Town will host Newcastle United at Kenilworth Road on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Premier League campaign.

The home side have struggled to adapt to life in the top-flight and are now staring down the relegation barrel as they round up the first half of the league season. They faced off against Bournemouth last weekend with the scores level at 1-1 before team captain Tom Lockyer collapsed just before the hour-mark, ultimately resulting in an abandonment of the match which will now be replayed in full at a later date.

Luton Town sit 18th in the league table with just nine points picked up so far. They are one point above last-placed Sheffield United and will be looking to widen that gap with a win on Saturday.

Newcastle United have had their struggles of late with a plethora of injuries hampering the team's performance. They returned to winning ways in the league last time out with a 3-0 win over 10-man Fulham before losing on penalties to Chelsea in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup earlier in the week.

The visitors sit sixth in the Premier League standings with 29 points from 17 games and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
