An important weekend at the bottom of the Premier League standings will take place this weekend. Luton Town will be aware that they face a must-win showdown with Brentford on Saturday, with a victory likely to be enough to see them end the round outside of the relegation places.
Premier League Preview
All eyes will be on the foot of the Premier League standings this weekend, as the bottom five teams all collide against one another. Luton Town will have pressure on their shoulders in this home fixture, as they will need to pick up maximum points to move outside of the bottom three spots. The Hatters come into this round after losing heavily at Man City in their previous outing in the league.
Despite that defeat, Luton remain in a promising position to maintain their top-flight status this term, as they sit just a point behind 17th place Nottingham Forest. However, victories in recent months have been harder to achieve for the Hatters, which is evident from the fact that they have lost three of their last four. Home games will be the difference between the Hatters staying up and going down over the final month.
Brentford look as though they are safe in the relegation battle at this stage after going four without a defeat in the Premier League. The Bees now sit seven points clear of the bottom three places, and they ended a long wait for victory in their previous outing when beating Sheffield United 2-0.
That was a much-needed success for Thomas Frank’s side, as it ended a winless run in home matches that stretched back to January. The Bees certainly bring the better form into this showdown, and that could be a hard factor to completely overlook.
Luton vs Brentford Head to Head
Brentford have a very strong record in this fixture, winning each of the last three competitive meetings between the sides. That includes a 3-1 success in the reverse fixture this term in the Premier League. Luton were 2-1 winners in their most recent success against the Bees in February 2020.
Luton vs Brentford Prediction
Luton’s home form will be key to their chances of staying in the Premier League this term. However, Brentford brings the better recent run of results into this showdown, and that could be a very testing factor to overlook. Therefore, we will be siding with the away victory on Saturday.
