Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Following a 3-1 loss to Tottenham, Crystal Palace will look to get back on course in the Premier League when they take on Luton Town on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles defeated Burnley 3-0 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Luton. Jordan Ayew should be fit for the match despite limping off with injury at the weekend, while all Marc Guehi, Michael Olise, Rob Holding, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Nathan Ferguson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Hatters, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the English top flight. As Luton Town conceded 13 goals in total in the previous three games in all competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the capital club. All Albert Sambi Lokonga, Gabriel Osho, Jacob Brown, Dan Potts, Elijah Adebayo, Mads Juel Andersen, Tom Lockyer, and Marvelous Nakamba are injured for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Jean-Philippe Mateta):
A talented French youngster Jean-Philippe Mateta worked his way up through football’s less glamorous landscapes plying his trade at local amateur sides and third-tier outfits before Ligue 1 giants Lyon took notice of his 11 goals in 22 matches and brought him to the big league.
Having failed to make it into the first team in a debut season with Les Gones, Mateta was shipped out to Le Havre, leading the club to promotion play-offs. Bundesliga side Mainz took notice of his ability and came calling in the summer of 2018 after he bagged 17 goals in 35 league matches. An imposing physical presence at his 192cm, Mateta is a mobile forward and a decent dribbler who can finish with both of his feet.
Having worked his way up from the very bottom, Jean-Philippe Mateta is a committed individual determined to make a name for himself. His impressive goalscoring record got rewarded in the form of France U19 call-up in 2017.
Highlighted Team (Luton ):
Founded back on April 11, 1885, Luton Town are an English club that compete in the Championship. The Hatters welcome their rivals at Kenilworth Road, the stadium which was opened in 1905. The capacity of the stadium is 10,356, with Luton Borough Council owning the venue.
Luton Town wear orange shirts with a little white and dark blue and dark blue shorts when playing at home, whilst their away colours are white and dark blue. Andy Rennie is the club’s all-time top scorer, netting 162 goals in all competitions for the Hatters. The likes of Joe Payne, Hugh Billington, Bernard Streten, Dyd Owen, Bob Morton, Ron Baynham, Gordon Turner and Mal Donaghy are one of the club’s most notable players as well.
Luton Town finished the 2018/2019 League One campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will compete in the Championship in the 2019/2020 season.
