Newcastle United will take on Luton Town at St. James' Park on the 3rd of February with renewed vigour after their resounding win at Villa Park on Tuesday. However, Luton will be rocking up with plenty of confidence themselves as they destroyed Brighton 4-0 in their last Premier League match. Will Newcastle pick up another three points on their quest for European football next season, or will Luton get three huge points in their relegation battle? You can find out my views in this prediction.
🏆 Newcastle United vs Luton Town: Who Will Win?
We all know how good a job Eddie Howe has been doing at Newcastle, but things have been going worryingly downhill for him in recent weeks. They had lost four of their previous five matches before their trip to Villa Park, which has become a fortress as of late, and many expected them to lose to a high-flying Aston Villa. However, Newcastle completely outplayed Emery's men and picked up a much-needed three points - in the meantime, they became the first team to beat Villa at home in over 11 months. They looked like the Newcastle of old and will be buoyed by their performance.
Not many gave Luton a chance of staying in the Premier League this season, but they are giving it a fair good go. They thumped Brighton 4-0 on Tuesday evening, and this result has seen them climb out of the Relegation Zone at the expense of Everton. When it comes to current form, Rob Edwards' men are in 9th place in the table, having picked up 10 points from their previous six matches. They have found a way to score and are now tighter at the back.
If I was predicting this match at the start of the season, I would have backed an easy win for Newcastle. However, now, I reckon Luton can give the Geordies a very tough game. However, I still think that the home side will go on and win this match as they are a hard nut to crack at St. James' Park. I think Newcastle will win this match 3-1.
My Prediction: 🏆 Newcastle 3 Luton 1 ⚽

Newcastle vs Luton: Match Winner Odds
The bookmakers are backing Newcastle to win this match easily, which is not too much of a surprise when we consider where both teams are in the table. Additionally, they have probably taken into account the fact that Luton do not travel that well, while St. James' Park is always one of the hardest stadiums to go and play at. If you want to bet on the match result, then below are the match winner odds for this clash between Newcastle and Luton.
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Newcastle | 1.39 | 1.39 | 1.40 | 1.43 | 1.38 |
| Draw | 4.80 | 4.80 | 4.75 | 5.20 | 5.00 |
| Luton | 6.65 | 6.65 | 7.00 | 7.50 | 7.50 |
Newcastle vs Luton: Both Teams To Score Odds
The top sports betting sites believe that both teams will find the back of the net in this match, and that is a fair assumption as these two teams have not struggled to score in their previous six matches. Luton are averaging two goals a match, while Newcastle are averaging 1.83 goals per game. If you want to put money on both teams to score, then you can see the odds for this market below:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1.70 | 1.70 | 1.73 | 1.79 | 1.79 |
| No | 2.03 | 2.03 | 2.00 | 1.98 | 1.98 |
Newcastle vs Luton: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
The bookmakers also believe that there will be at least three goals scored in this match. This makes perfect sense since they have Newcastle as the big favourites to claim the points - to predict a Newcastle win, both teams to score, and under 2.5 goals would be highly contradictory. We cannot really take a look at the history between these two teams for any useful betting tips since they have only played twice since the turn of the century. Below are the over/under 2.5 goals odds:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 | 1.50 | 1.50 | 1.53 | 1.55 | 1.55 |
| Under 2.5 | 2.39 | 2.39 | 2.45 | 2.45 | 2.45 |
✔️ Newcastle vs Luton - Betting Tips
You can put down a random football bet and just hope that Lady Luck is on your side, but this is not really a betting strategy that I recommend. You should always check out some tips from some top football tipsters, such as myself, which is why I am now going to give you my football betting tips for this Newcastle vs Luton match.
- Tip 1: Bet on a Newcastle win: This will be a tough game for Newcastle as Luton will be on a high after their impressive victory over Brighton, but if Newcastle play how they did against Aston Villa on Tuesday, then I can see them coming out on top. The other teams that are chasing European football will be hoping that they have not found last year's form again. If you want to bet on a Newcastle win, then LeoVegas Sports are offering odds of 1.43.
- Tip 2: Bet on both teams to score: Luton have found the back of the net at least once in their previous six league matches, while Newcastle have scored in five of their previous six matches. So, neither team are struggling to breach their opponents' defence lately. As a result, I can see both teams find the back of the net in this game, and BetUK Sports are offering odds of 1.79.
- Tip 3: Bet on Anthony Gordon to be booked: If you are the kind of bettor who enjoys adding bookings to a Bet Builder in order to increase the odds, then I recommend you consider betting on Gordon to be booked. He is one of the most booked players in the league, and Betiton Sport are offering odds of 4.50 for him to be booked - I think such odds are really generous.
- Tip 4: Bet on Newcastle to win 3-1:: If you like betting on the correct result of the match due to the potential awards that are on offer, then 10Bet are currently offering odds of 8.50.
1️⃣Newcastle United Update
Newcastle, after their 3-1 win against Aston Villa, moved up to 7th in the EPL table and they are back in the hunt for a spot in next season's Europa League or Conference League. If they go on a very good run, they could sneak into a Champions League spot, but I do not really see that happening. They will be glad to have broken their run of four consecutive defeats and will become even more dangerous when their injured players start returning to the fold.

When it comes to injuries, Howe has had more than his fair share, but at least he was able to spend some Arab money in recent years in order to be a pretty good squad of players. He will not be able to call upon nine players for this match against Luton, and the absentees can be seen below:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| Harvey Barnes | Foot Injury |
| Joelinton | Groin Surgery |
| Elliot Anderson | Back Injury |
| Matt Targett | Hamstring Injury |
| Joe Willock | Achilles Tendon Injury |
| Nick Pope | Shoulder Injury |
| Jamaal Lascelles | Calf Injury |
| Callum Wilson | Calf Injury |
| Alexander Isak | Calf Injury |
| Sandro Tonali | Gambling Suspesion |
2️⃣Luton Town Update
If Luton Town manage to stay in the Premier League this season, then it will be a huge achievement, especially when you consider the budget that they are working with. A run of three wins, a draw, and two defeats from their previous six matches has seen them climb out of the Relegation Zone, and an unexpected win against Newcastle could end up giving them a bit of breathing space. I would love it if Luton managed to stay out of the bottom three between now and the end of the season.
| Last 5 Premier League Games | |

| Burnley1 Luton Town1 | 12.01.24 |

Edwards has had plenty of luck when it comes to injuries as he currently has just the two players that are not available for selection ahead of this Newcastle clash. You can see their absentees below:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| Tom Lockyer | Heart Issues |
| Issa Kabore | Called up to National Team |
