Luton vs Norwich: Championship match prediction
Luton and Norwich will play in the 25th round of the English Championship on the first day of 2025. The hosts are only in 19th place in the standings, while the visitors are in 12th position. Which of the championship mid-table teams will be able to improve their standings on January 1? The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Command Analysis
Luton Town
EnglandCurrent form
Luton failed to recover from relegation from the Premier League right away, and their poor performance continued in the Championship. For some time, the team was even in the relegation zone, but recently Rob Edwards and his team have managed to improve the situation. The team is currently in 19th place and is four points clear of the danger zone. The team played well in their last home matches. The Hatters managed to beat Hull City (1:0), Stoke City (2:1), Derby County (2:1) at their stadium, and also drew with Swansea (1:1). At the same time, the team lost away to Blackburn (0:2), Bristol (0:1) and the same Swansea (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Tom Lockyer will miss the match with a heart problem and Joe Johnson is suspended, while Alfie Doughty is also in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered three defeats in its last four matches.
- The hosts have not lost at home for six matches in a row.
Projected lineup: Kaminsky, Burke, McGuinness, Hasioka, Johnson, Nelson, Nakamba, Walters, Clarke, Adebayo, Chong.
Norwich City
EnglandCurrent form
Norwich were hoping to fight for promotion this season, but for now the Canaries are only in the middle of the league and occupy 12th place in the table with 30 points, which is unlikely to please the team fans. The gap from sixth-placed Middlesbrough has already reached seven points, which will be very difficult to win back. After defeats from Burnley (1:2) and Sunderland (1:2), the visitors managed to beat Millwall (2:1) and draw with Queens Park Rangers (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Joshua Sargent will miss the match through injury, with Gabriel Forsyth and Liam Gibbs questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last six matches.
- The visitors have not been able to win away from home for eight matches in a row.
Probable line-up: Gunn - Krisine, Doyle, Duffy, Fischer - Slimane, Nunez, Marcondes - Sainz, Krnac, Schwartau.

1.62Tip and bets
The visitors are higher than their opponents in the league table, but the "canaries" are currently in crisis and are having a hard time scoring points. At the same time, the hosts play quite well at their stadium and have not lost at home for a long time. We believe that the "hatters" will be able to score points in the confrontation with the stalled "Norwich".
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Luton Town for 1.80
Bet on total
The opponents are not very reliable in defense, so they are used to counting on the attack. We believe that in the face-to-face match the teams will choose an attacking style of play, which should lead to a large number of scoring opportunities, some of which will be realized.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on corners
At home, Luton will be the number one team and will obviously spend a lot of time at the opponent goal. There is a high probability that the hosts will confidently win on corners today.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on corners at Luton for 1.90
