Luton vs Fulham Prediction and Betting Tips: Morris to register an assist on the final day

Luton’s relegation back to the Championship was all but confirmed last weekend after they lost 3-1 to West Ham, but they will be looking to go out with a bang when they host Fulham on the final day of the season.

Expect a defiant and celebratory atmosphere from the Hatters, who must produce a 12-goal swing on goal difference with Nottingham Forest if they are to remain in the Premier League.

The game takes place on Sunday 19th May at Kenilworth Road in Luton, with kick off set for 4pm BST.

Not many pundits gave Luton a chance of remaining in the Premier League this season and indeed they look set to return to the second tier. However, they may well finish 18th, ahead of fellow promoted sides Burnley and Sheffield United.

They host a Fulham side who have little to play for other than a potential 12th-placed finish if they can leapfrog Wolves and Crystal Palace.

Luton were roundly tipped to be comfortably relegated, so they can take some real credit for their performances in the top-flight this season.

An injury crisis that has lasted much of the second half of the season has been a major issue for Rob Edwards and his side have been unable to recover after a solid start.

The Hatters have lost six of their last eight games and a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Hammers last time out was the final blow that is likely to see them return to the Championship after just one season.

The home team’s defence has been their major Achilles heel this season, they have conceded 81 times in 37 games, second only to Sheffield United’s remarkable 101 goals allowed.

Three of their last five games have gone over 3.5 goals and a repeat of that looks likely here.

Both teams have found the net in 15 of the Hatters' last 18 Premier League home games so expect an open affair in which both teams can play their part.

Fulham’s season has rather petered out but they have netted 51 times in 37 matches, the second-most of any team in the bottom eight.

Carlton Morris has been key to Luton’s success going forward this season, netting a team-high 10 Premier League goals.

Only Alfie Doughty has more assists than the striker too and he looks overpriced to be in the thick of the action once more here.

Luton may strive to make Morris’ aerial dominance a key part of their game plan for this clash, so take the former Barnsley man to register an assist in this match.
