This pair both progressed to the FA Cup fifth round this past weekend, clearing Premier League opposition in Everton and Sheffield United respectively. Neither could muster a win in their last league outing, with The Hatters experiencing a score draw against Burnley, while The Seagulls were held to a point by Wolves in a goalless affair.
Firms understandably have Luton as underdogs in this game despite their noteworthy home performance at odds of 15/4. Tuesday's travellers Brighton are odds-on favourites at 8/11 to come away with all three points - an outcome which would see them rise a place in the Premier League standings.
Luton vs Brighton Tips
With Brighton clear favourites in Tuesday's encounter the value lies with Luton. That's why we're backing Ross Barkley to register a shot on target in the match at just under even money, with Sky Bet going best at 5/6.
Town have come on leaps and bounds since Albion's 4-1 drubbing of them on the opening weekend of the season. Luton remain in the bottom three but as many have suggested, if any of the newly promoted teams are to survive the drop this season then Rob Edwards' side are the most likely to achieve this feat.
Ross Barkley has been a lively character in their starting XI, so far avoiding injury to make 19 appearances across three different competitions. He's let off 35 shots in 15 Premier League outings, meeting this line of one shot on target on six different occasions. That might not sound like a lot but when half of those successes have come in his last three matches - along with 4/7 SOT being achieved in front of his own fans at Kenilworth Road - we like the price for him to test the Brighton keeper who faced 16 shots against basement dwellers Sheffield United on Saturday.
Sticking with the Luton theme points us towards backing Alfie Doughty to provide an assist in the match at odds of 5/1 with bet365 - a substantial difference from the 7/2 offered elsewhere.
Purely on season numbers alone the five he's achieved in 20 matches means this selection is good value without factoring in recent performances. It also helps that the 24-year-old wing-back boasts a goal contribution in each of his last three PL matches, providing back-to-back assists in games against Chelsea at home and Burnley away.
Brighton have kept only two clean sheets across their last 11, picking the ball out of the net twice against Sheffield United in the FA Cup last weekend. Luton breached their goal in the first meeting at the Amex and the emphasis on attacking with width means that Doughty is a strong bet, especially at such big odds.
