Horse Racing Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction: Team News and Lineups Preview
It’s a Luton vs Bournemouth prediction, team news, lineups, and fixtures preview next on the agenda for Tom Winch here at bettingexpert as we tackle the Saturday afternoon Premier League game at Kenilworth Road.
This match is huge for Luton. They’re in desperate need of points. They still have every chance of surviving the drop. Bournemouth’s season isn’t far away from being over. They won’t go down and have a slim chance of reaching a European position. They could be a side that lets the handbrake off.
- Luton vs Bournemouth Tip 1: Over 3.25 Goals
- Luton vs Bournemouth Tip 2: Dominic Solanke AGS
- Luton vs Bournemouth Tip 3: Over 10.5 Corners
Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction 1: A Corker At The Kenny
England, Premier League, Saturday, April 6th, 15:00 (UK)
It’s hard to look away from backing goals in this encounter. Both sides are excellent at finding the back of the net. These two clubs have scored in a combined 27 matches from 29 when playing at home and away, respectively.
BTTS – Yes, I expect this to land with relative ease. I don’t think you could have any arguments regarding the price. It’s as low as 1.40. Luton are averaging 1.47 goals for and 1.73 against at the Kenny. Iraola’s men are scoring 1.64 goals whilst conceding 2.07 away from home.
For this selection to win, we need to see four goals. It may seem a high line, but these sides met recently. The contest ended 4-3 that night.
Bournemouth have scored multiple goals in five of their previous six Premier League matches. They failed to do so against Man City, which is no shock. I’m confident that the Cherries have plenty of joy here and score at least twice.
The hosts have scored in 26 of their 30 Premier League matches. That’s a superb achievement. The Hatters have bagged in 18 consecutive matches.
A high-scoring encounter with both sides contributing is what I expect when these sides take to the field.

Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction 2: Dom’s On A Mission
We’re 30 games into the Premier League season, and Dominic Solanke still has a chance of winning the Golden Boot. Yes, he’s having an awesome season down on the South Coast. The 26-year-old has bagged 16 goals in 23/24 and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.
There are no doubts as to who will be the best player on the pitch when these two meet. The former Liverpool man is enjoying a fabulous campaign. He’s priced attractively in the AGS market. It’s one I’m happy to get with.
Solanke has started all 29 games for Bournemouth this season. He’s recorded 87 shots, 32 of those have hit the target. One of his 16 goals this term has arrived from outside the area.
With goals expected, this appears to be a sensible angle to consider. Luton hasn’t kept a clean sheet in their ten previous matches in all competitions. Rob Edwards’ side have shipped 30 goals in that time.
Dominic Solanke scored Bournemouth’s first in that emphatic comeback. The visitors have several absentees. Solanke will fancy his chances this weekend.

Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction 3: Backing The Numbers
Corner selections are sometimes tricky to get onside with. I struggle to see how this encounter doesn’t provide entertainment. Both clubs will attack with purpose, which should lead to corner kicks.
Luton’s matches at this venue average 11.80 corners. Nine or more have arrived in all 15 outings here, with 11 or more in 80% of those matches. The Hatters average an impressive 6.80 corners for and 5.00 against.
Bournemouth’s numbers aren’t on par with their opponents. It’s an 11.14 average on their travels. They average 5.50 whilst conceding 5.64. The numbers are in our favour here.
An impressive 14 corners were taken when these sides met at the Vitality Stadium.
The visitors are ranked 5th for corners taken in the Premier League with 184. Luton is ranked 9th. They’ve taken an impressive 169, with 102 arriving at home.
Attack is the best form of defence for these two clubs. I can’t see either keeping a clean sheet. There’s plenty of attacking talent within both squads. We need 11 corners for this selection to land. I like our chances.
- Luton vs Bournemouth Prediction 3: Over 10.5 Corners (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.90

Luton vs Bournemouth Team News and Possible Lineups: Tough Times For The Hosts, Cherries Are Good To Go
The hosts are struggling. They have a hefty amount of players with injuries. Alfie Doughty, Lokonga, Ogbene, Adebayo, Osho, Brown, Nakamba and Bell are likely to miss this clash.
Ross Barkely and Alfie Doughty have been two of the best players this season for Luton. Doughty was forced off with an injury in their defeat against Spurs.
Bournemouth’s injury crisis isn’t as bad as their opponents. Sinisterra is absent due to a hamstring injury. Marcos Senesi and Ryan Christie are doubts. They’ve both been absent since early March.
Solanke, Kluivert, Semenyo and Tavernier are a dangerous quartet.
Luton possible starting lineup: Kaminski; Kabore, Mengi, Burke, Hashioka, Berry, Mpanzu, Barkley, Townsend, Chong; Morris
Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Neto; Smith, Zabarnyi, Mepham, Kelly, Adams, Cook, Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Solanke
