⁠Luton Town vs Burnley Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | EFL Championship 2024-25

Both of these two teams got relegated last season.

Luton Town’s fairytale run in the Premier League last season ended after getting relegated, due to finishing in the 18th position on the table. The Hatters will now shift their focus back to the EFL Championship. They open their campaign against Burnley on match day 1.

Rob Edwards’s team did not have the best of pre-season run, failing to win any of their matches. The Hatters played five pre-season games in which they only managed to win one, draw once and collect three losses. Nevertheless, pre-season is all about preparation, the real work starts for them against Burnley. 

Burnley were one of the other sides to get relegated alongside Luton. The Clarets who are going through a transition period, have signed Scott Parker to take the club forward. Parker has been doing a lot of work behind the scenes. Under him, the team has played maximum of the matches behind closed doors. 

Their only official pre-season game came against Spanish outfit Cadiz. It ended in a 1-1 draw. The Clarets have done an excellent job of retaining their main players as they aim to make a push for the Premier League qualification places again.

Players to Watch

Elijah Adebayo (⁠Luton Town)

Elijah Adebayo had a breakthrough campaign for Hatters last term, showing early promise in the first part of the Premier League season. After netting goals against big sides like Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, the Luton forward also netted a brilliant hattrick against Brighton to continue his memorable run. However, he then suffered an injury which hampered his growth, missing nearly three months of football. Nevertheless, Adebayo still managed to finish the season scoring ten goals. 

Luca Koleosho (Burnley)

The 19-year-old had an excellent debut campaign for the Clarets last season after making the move from Spanish side Espanyol. Despite netting just one goal and one assist from 15 appearances, Koleosho showed plenty of promise in these matches. Koleosho is a bright young talent who is not afraid to take on defenders with his exquisite pace and bags of trickery.
