Luton Town vs Leeds United Prediction and Betting Tips | April 5th 2025
Luton Town will host Leeds United at Kenilworth Road on Saturday in the 40th round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be hoping to pull off a late-season upset to get vital three points in their fight to escape relegation.
Luton have remained in the relegation zone despite picking up three wins and a draw in their last five games and are only four points above bottom-placed Plymouth with seven games to go. The hosts picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Hull City last weekend but will need something extra special to get a result against Daniel Farke’s side.
Leeds United were disappointed to drop points for the fourth time in their last five games when a 96th-minute equalizer from Zan Vipotnik led to a 2-2 draw against Swansea last weekend. The visitors' recent dip in form has seen them lose their lead in the league standings and leave them tied on points with third-placed Burnley. They will be desperate to confirm direct promotion in the final weeks of the season.
