- Luton Town have won one, drawn two and lost one of their four home games in League One 2026-2027, averaging 1.25 goals per game scored and 1.00 per game conceded.
- Leicester City have not lost on the road in League One 2026-2027, winning one and drawing three of their last four away trips while conceding just five goals.
Luton look to be improving under Wilshere
Luton Town are 16th in League One 2026-2027 with 11 points from nine games and just one position above the drop zone, while Leicester City are 14th with 12 points from the same nine matches. Both teams have had mixed recent form, with Luton Town the more dangerous of the pair, having won three and lost two of their last five.
Leicester did respond to a 3-1 home defeat to Peterborough United with a 2-1 home win over Doncaster Rovers last time out, so it is a good time for Luton to face the Foxes.
The Hatters are coming into the game after a 4-1 win at Wycombe Wanderers and a 2-1 loss at Milton Keynes Dons FC, so it is clear they have the ability to hurt teams but have a leaky nature as well.
Jack Wilshere has been Luton's head coach since 13 October 2025 and he has built the team around a back three designed for athletic wing-backs and fast vertical breaks. Leicester, by contrast, are a possession-based side with a high line, so there should be opportunities for each team to flourish.
Foxes are finding a rhythm
Emil Riis Jakobsen has been Leicester's most productive player so far with two goals in three appearances in League One 2026/2027, but Admir Bristric has chipped in with three goals in his last five matches, so he is in the right place at the right time.
Luton's talisman is Nahki Wells, who has four goals in seven League One 2026/2027 games, and the Hatters should find the net in this clash even if they can't keep the Foxes out.
Both teams to score seems a bit short at 21/50, but Over 2.5 goals at 1/2 is definitely worth a punt given the chances that are likely to be created at both ends of the pitch. Luton are a slight 27/25 favourites for this game with Leicester at 41/20 and the draw at 11/4, which doesn't seem right as Martin's men have been so tough to crack on the road.
The Leicester manager has had the club since 1 July 2026 and his possession-first mentality is now filtering through to the players, who are starting to play through pressure areas with more regularity. Wilshere's side are better at home, winning one and losing one of their last two, so we will take Luton to nick the game, albeit not by a wide margin, as the visitors will not give up easily.
