Chelsea vs. Luton Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Chelsea vs. Luton at English Premier League

Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
When: Friday, August 25, 9 pm CET

The Blues are in a challenging position. Mauricio Pochettino counted heavily on Christopher Nkunku, who is injured and will be out for some time. On the other side, the fans want good results, and the management as well. So the Poch finds himself in a very nasty situation. As for Luton, the team has no imperative because they know their power and strength. This Premiership season is a reward for them, and they will enjoy it, which makes them extremely dangerous.

Chelsea vs. Luton Predictions

Chelsea

The Blues spent a crazy amount of money in the past 12 months, especially since the new owner took over the team from Roman Abramovich. The results were terrible last year, and the fans crave some success. The opening game against Liverpool showed that this team has talent, but luck wasn’t with the hosts in that one.

Luck wasn’t with Chelsea when Nkunku picked up an injury. Pochettino explained that the French forward presented the centerpiece of his offense and that he now needs to adapt to the new system.

The Blues’ attacking potential is fantastic even without Nkunku, but on the other hand, the defense is a bit shaky, and knows to allow too much space for the rivals.

Luton

The Hatters spent less than 20 million euros on their arrivals. Now that isn’t a fee for one average Premier League transfer, which tells a lot about their status in English football’s top tier. However, they brought a breath of fresh air to the league, which was long gone in the whirl of money and business.

Luton had a cold welcome in the first round, losing 4-1 to Brighton. They showed occasional flashes, but that wasn’t enough against one of the most potent teams in the league in terms of offense.

Throughout the preseason period, we’ve seen them playing efficient events, and counting in the contest against the Seagulls, six of seven ended with both teams netting, and five saw over 2.5 hits.
