Manchester City vs Luton prediction and betting tips on April 13, 2024
One of the fights of the 33rd round of the English Premier League will be played on Saturday in Manchester, where at the Etihad Arena local Manchester City will take Luton. We offer a prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Manchester City
"The Citizens" played a quarter-final match against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, which ended in a 3-3 draw. The game turned out to be very entertaining and exciting and the whole football world is in anticipation of the second leg of this duel next week. However, before that, Pep Guardiola's team will have to play in the championship with Luton, who are fighting for survival.
At the moment, City are only third in the APL standings, one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool. Obviously, it is impossible to lose points in the game with the "hat-trick" in any case, but ahead of the return meeting with Real Madrid, it is necessary to give a little rest to the leaders. In the last match of the English championship Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace away with the score 4:2.
Luton
"Hatter" approach the match at the Etihad with an overcrowded infirmary. Counting on points in such a situation is ridiculous. "Citizens" - this is certainly not Bournemouth, which visited Luton last round and suffered a defeat with a score of 1:2. The victory over Bournemouth, by the way, broke a series of no wins in the performance of Luton, which totalled 11 matches.
At the moment, Luton occupies the 18th place in the English Premier League standings. In 32 matches "hat-trick" made only six victories and scored 25 points. Nottingham Forest, which is in the safe zone, has exactly the same number of points, but the "Foresters" are higher due to additional indicators.
