Luton’s disappointing run seems to be continuing as they cannot string together a run of points, yet they could perhaps pull a result out of the bag against a Newcastle side, struggling with fatigue and injuries, as well as some poor away form.

Kenilworth Road coming into its own
Despite not being able to play many of their first games at home Luton have since been attempting to turn Kenilworth Road into a true fortress.
They have been struggling to do so, yet this could be the perfect storm as they welcome a Newcastle side that has only won one of their away games all season.
With five losses and two draws to their names, including losing to the likes of Bournemouth and Everton, they could fall afoul of a Luton side backed to the hilt by the Hatters faithful.
This is likely to be Luton’s best opportunity to claim points, amid the Magpies' serious injury struggles and double game weeks, that will have left the fit players of the squad seriously fatigued from their massive workload.
Look for Luton to battle tooth and nail as they attempt to grab some much-needed points and give their fans an early Christmas present.
Luton vs Newcastle Tip 1: Double Chance - Luton or Draw @6/5 with bet365
Tipping their hat to the corner
Luton are likely to be far more impressive in the game than many of the odds and form suggest, as Newcastle continue to flounder when away from home.
This should come to fruition in their corner statistics also, as they will look to apply pressure from here.
The Hatters have been earning an average of 6.00 corners per home game and have covered the over four line in 62% of the games to this point.
Newcastle have equally conceded five or more corners in half of their away games, something that Luton will be looking to play on.

More Bark than Bite at the Kenny
Despite these two sides having been famed for playing white-knuckle football with hard challenges flying around, they appear to be breaking this mould this season.
This has resulted in them seeing fewer cards in their matches, something that should persist into this game.
Luton averages a mere 2 cards per game and only sees their opponents earn around 1.69. Whereas Newcastle see this rise to just 2.41, and sees two or more cards in just 59% of their games.
Combined this isn’t enough to cover the line, and with no particular bad blood between the sides, it is unlikely they will engage in any sort of fisticuffs.
