Wolves vs Luton tips and predictions: Hatters' final realistic shot at Premier League survival

The Hatters enter the weekend in the bottom three, but Rob Edwards and his men are just one point behind Nottingham Forest.

With the aforementioned Reds taking on title-hunting Manchester City, a win for Luton could move them into safety.

A win is certainly on the cards for the minnows as they travel to an out-of-form Wolves side.

While Gary O’Neil has overachieved in his first season at Molineux, their form since March has been woeful.

Wolves are winless in seven matches across all competitions, losing five of those fixtures. What’s more, they are scoreless in over 180 minutes of Premier League football.

Luton aren’t exactly flying themselves. The Hatters suffered back-to-back 5-1 defeats against Manchester City and Brentford.

The relegation contenders have only picked up one win in 13 Premier League matches – a run which includes four defeats from their last five games.

Despite their woeful run of form, Wolves are there for the taking and Luton will certainly have plenty of motivation.

A win here would significantly boost their survival hopes and we’re backing them to take all three points back home.

The Hatters to win and both teams to score is they way to go.
