Burnley vs Luton Town Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

A win could take Burnley to the second spot.

The EFL Championship 2024-25 Matchday 36 fixtures take us to Turf Moor where Burnley are set to host Luton Town.

Burnley FC currently sit 3rd in the Championship points table, striving to close the gap on the league leaders. A victory against Luton Town could propel them past Sheffield United into the second spot, reinforcing their push for automatic promotion.

Fresh from a 2-1 triumph over Cardiff City, with goals from Josh Brownhill and Maxime Esteve securing all three points, Burnley will be eager to maintain their winning momentum and capitalize on this crucial fixture.

Luton Town’s campaign has spiraled into a dismal chapter, marking one of their most disappointing seasons in the Championship. Once a Premier League side just a season ago, they now find themselves languishing near the bottom of the second division — a fall from grace that has stunned fans and critics alike. Their struggles have exposed glaring weaknesses, prompting serious reflection within the squad.

Despite the gloom, Luton will view their upcoming clash against Burnley as a chance for redemption. An upset victory could reignite their spirit, offering a much-needed morale boost and a glimmer of hope as they push for a stronger finish to their turbulent season.
