Fulham vs Luton Town

, KO: 17:15 May 2, 2022, Craven Cottage
Luton Town

FULHAM have long since claimed promotion back to the English Premiership, but they continue to make hard work of sealing the Championship title.

And Luton Town will be desperate to secure the point they need to secure a remarkable play-off place on Monday night.

Anything other than a win for Bournemouth away at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday will mean that they cannot catch the league leaders and Fulham will be crowned champions before Monday night's encounter at Craven Cottage.

And although Fulham have really ran away with the title, they appear to almost on their holidays already after one win in their last five games. They were denied the chance to win the title at home against an in-form Nottingham Forest side in midweek and have another chance against the Hatters.

Nathan Jones' side sit in fifth place going into the weekend fixtures and a point will be enough to continue their Premiership dream with a play-off dream – this for a team who were in the Conference League just eight years ago.

But Luton's big worry is that injuries are piling up for them at the wrong time. They currently have a staggering nine players out injured which is exactly what you don't need at the business end of the season.

How the bookies view it

Fulham are strong favourites here at 1/2 generally although Betfred go 4/7 on a home win. Luton can be backed at 11/2 with bet365 and the draw is 10/3 with Paddy Power.

Recent head to heads

The sides battled out a 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road in December as can be seen below. Luton haven't won in the last six meetings between the clubs and last tasted success at Craven Cottage in 1998.

Players to watch

Serbian hitman Aleksandar Mitrovic is going for goal No.45 of an incredible season for club and country. He's far too good for the Championship and is odds-on to score here at 4/5 with Paddy Power.

Luton's answer to him is Elijah Adebayo who scored last week against Blackpool and has 17 goals of his own this season. He is 3/1 with bet365 to net.

Anything else catch the eye?

Fulham can take advantage of Luton's injury crisis and get over the line here. Despite their recent blip they still have the best home record in the league.

They are too short to back on their own so try the double of Aleksandar Mitrovic to score and Fulham to win at evens with Paddy Power.

Luton tend to be fairly secure at the back and haven't had many thumpings in the league this season so the hosts might have to edge out a narrow win. Go for a Faulham win and under 2.5 goals at a big price of 16/5 with Coral.
