Luton Town vs Swansea City Live Stats & Betting Odds
Luton Town News and Form – Can the Hatters secure a third straight home victory?
The Hatters have been in dreadful form lately, losing a staggering nine of their last 12 Championship games. Luton Town head into this one having lost two in a row. After losing 3-0 at Stoke City, Town were narrowly beaten by Preston North End at Deepdale last time out. They were also thumped 7-0 by Brentford at Griffin Park recently.
On a more positive note, Luton have won their last two at home, beating both Charlton Athletic and Wigan Athletic 2-1. In fact, Jones’ troops have picked up four wins on home turf, losing four times along the way.
The Hatters, who superbly won the League One title last season, are currently languishing down in 21st position in the Championship, two points above the drop zone. Can they claim a positive result at home on Saturday to bring some Christmas cheer to Kenilworth Road?

Swansea City News and Form – Will the Swans make it back-to-back wins?
Steve Cooper’s Swansea City have struggled for wins recently. Since claiming back-to-back victories over rivals Cardiff City and against Wigan at the DW Stadium, the Swans have won only one of their following seven. However, that win did come last time out against Middlesbrough at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea have spent the majority of the season in the top six, but their dip in form recently has seen them slip down to tenth. Overall, Cooper’s Swans have won nine, drawn seven and lost six.
Swansea’s heavy defeat to leaders West Bromwich Albion in their previous away game was their first away league reverse of the season. Can the club from South Wales get back to winning ways on the road this weekend?
Luton Town vs Swansea City Tips & Odds
Swansea City to win at 6/5
Andre Ayew to score anytime at 2/1

Luton Town vs Swansea City Predictions
Swansea City win: Four of Luton’s six Championship wins have come at Kenilworth Road. If the Hatters do stay up, their home form will have been key. Jones’ men have won their last two on home soil ahead of Saturday’s vital clash.
Swansea’s home triumph over Middlesbrough last time out was a very welcome one. That was their first win in over a month. Although Luton are fighting for their lives, the Swans’ qualities should shine through at Kenilworth Road. I’m backing Swansea to get the win (6/5).
Andre Ayew should be playing at a higher level. The Ghana international, who recently turned 29, has netted seven Championship goals this term. Ayew is in red-hot form, scoring three times in his last two outings, including a brace in Swansea’s 3-1 win over Boro last weekend. Back Ayew to score anytime on Saturday at 2/1.
