Luton Town are set to play Bournemouth at Kenilworth Road on Saturday in the EFL Championship.
Luton Town come into this game on the back of a 4-0 win over Simon Weaver's Harrogate Town in the third round of the FA Cup. Goals from forward Elijah Adebayo, veteran striker Cameron Jerome, Scottish centre-back Kal Naismith and midfielder Luke Berry sealed the deal for Nathan Jones' Luton Town.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, beat Darren Sarll's Yeovil Town 3-1 in the third round of the FA Cup. A hat-trick from Danish midfielder Emiliano Marcondes secured the win for Scott Parker's Bournemouth. A goal from attacker Joe Quigley proved to be a mere consolation for Yeovil Town.

Luton Town vs Bournemouth Prediction
Luton Town are currently 16th in the league, and have won only one of their last five league games. While they maintain a good distance from the teams at the bottom of the table, their current form leaves a lot to be desired.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are top of the league table. They are a point ahead of 2nd-placed Fulham, who have a game in hand. The Cherries have a good squad with some talented individuals, with Dominic Solanke and Philip Billing standing out this season.
Bournemouth should win here.
Prediction: Luton Town 0-2 Bournemouth
