Stevenage
In this EFL League One clash, we have two playoff contenders locking horns to see who can get one step closer to securing a spot in that top six come the end of the season. Not only that, but with just 12 miles separating the sides geographically, this is expected to be hotly contested, a could be a derby day to remember.
The Hatters come into this game following a surprising 1-0 defeat in Exeter, ending what they would have hoped to have been an unbeaten run. Meanwhile, Stevenage head into the game without a win in four, and a 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle means a win here is vital.
We believe that this could be an entertaining affair, and also a clash which could erupt, so we are backing over 2.5 goals to be scored.
Key Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals at 2.45 odds on TalkSPORT Bet represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our algorithm.
This match looks exciting from the outlook of game which could feature a lot of goals. Luton are a side who have been in games featuring a lot of goals this season – 62 to be precise. This comes in at around 2.5 per game. Boro, meanwhile, are a very strong away side, losing just four of their 12 games on the road this campaign, so this will be a competitive match, and we believe it could lead to goals.

Luton are not having the campaign they would have hoped for. Considering they come into this season having been in the topflight just two years ago. They have won 10 games, drawing five, but it is the loss column of nine which has haunted them so far. If the Hatters are able to turn some of those losses into draws and draws into wins, they could easily be fighting towards the top alongside the likes of Cardiff and Lincoln. They do have a respectable goal difference of +4, which could come in handy if they can build up more big victories.
As for Stevenage, they have yet again shown some superb improvement upon their 14th finish last year. Winning 10, they are just five off their total tally last season, with 24 games remaining. With a +8-goal differential too, it is made much more appealing considering their very impressive 18 goals conceded, which is remarkable and four less than the next best in Bolton. Only Arsenal boast a better defensive record throughout the top four leagues.
Recent Head-to-Head Results:
Through the last 15 years, these sides have met on 10 occasions. They have had some incredible matches, with their last meeting a 2-0 win for Boro back in October. Stevenage actually come away with the positive record in this particular matchup, winning four to Luton’s three. In the last five head-to-heads, Luton have only won one, although it was their last home game to Stevenage which ended 7-1 almost nine years ago.
Luton Last 5 Matches:
The Hatters have had some solid showings and performances in recent weeks, especially against Wycombe and Leyton Orient, where they were ticking soundly throughout the pitch, winning both games with an aggregate score of 7-0. It has been the performances around this which has been their undoing. A draw with bottom of the league Port Vale at home is never ideal for a side chasing promotion.
Stevenage Last 5 Matches:
Results in recent weeks for Boro proves why they are where they are in the league. Losing only to the Bluebirds, despite being 1-0 up that is, shows how well they have been playing this season, and why they are in the mix for a potential Championship berth. They haven’t won since before Christmas, however, which they will definitely be looking to change on Saturday lunchtime.

Jordan Clark (Luton): Clark has had a cracking season in behind Yates at striker, bagging himself six league goals in just 18 appearances. Since the festive period began to get started, Clark has stepped up to the plate for the Hatters, and he has found a goal in three of their last four matches.
Carl Piergianni (Stevenage): Highlighting their incredible season at the back, is Carl Piergianni. The 33-year-old has provided some immense stability in the backline and has led his teammates to ensure that they are always positioned well to make it as difficult as possible for opposing attackers to get through. His work is highlighted by him winning more aerial duels than any other centre back in League One.
