When to watch Luton vs Manchester City?

At home a strong Luton against a strange Manchester City

Luton have been busy at home, losing only three of their last six games here, with games against Chelsea and Manchester United being a fight to the last minutes. The unknown names are already a worry, on the other hand one of the biggest – Elijah Adebayo, is injured.

Manchester City have won 12 of their last 13 games, but their performances have not been downright dominant even with the return of Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne. The past three games were 1-0 wins over Bournemouth with Brentford and a 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Betting tip – Manchester City will not win both halves

The Citizens are tired from a busy schedule judging by their performances in recent weeks, and a rotation in the cup can be expected ahead of the weekend league, which is obviously a clear priority. Therefore, I do not expect any offensive campaign of the favorite, moreover, on hot ground. It will depend on how quickly Manchester City score for the first time, then the game can open up. That’s also why I think more goals will fall after the change of sides. Luton have definitely picked up, so I expect the opponent to win at most one half.
