One of the fixtures of the 27th round of the English Premier League will take place at the "Kenilworth Road" arena, where the local Luton will face Aston Villa. Will there be any challenges for Unai Emery's team? Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Luton
The "Hatters" are fighting to survive in the top division. Not long ago, they were in a safe zone, but in mid-February, they slipped to the 18th position. Luton's last match was against Manchester City at home in the FA Cup, where they suffered a heavy 2-6 defeat. Prior to that, Luton played at "Anfield" in the league, where they managed to score first but eventually couldn't hold off the Merseyside's attacks and conceded four goals in response. This defeat marked the third consecutive loss for Rob Edwards' side, as Luton has been unable to win in the last four Premier League matches.
Aston Villa
The "Villans" are having an excellent season and rightfully aspire to finish in the top four and participate in the Champions League. In the previous round, Aston Villa defeated Nottingham Forest at home with a score of 4-2. The hero of the match for the "lions" was the Brazilian Douglas Luiz, who scored a brace. This victory marked their third win in the last five rounds, with two losses. Currently, Aston Villa occupies the fourth position in the league table, accumulating 52 points from 26 matches. It's worth noting that the "villans" have remained unbeaten in three away matches, securing victories in their last two, while overall losing four out of 13 away games.
