Our football betting expert brings you their Manchester City vs Luton predictions as the teams go head-to-head in the Premier League. City are a point behind both Arsenal and Liverpool in the title race.
Pep Guardiola’s side have an inferior goal difference to Arsenal, so racking up goals could be crucial in the closing weeks of the season. Goal difference is also key for Luton as they are currently in the relegation zone as a result of Nottingham Forest’s superior goal difference.

Manchester City Earn All Three Points
Manchester City played their part in a Champions League classic midweek. However, they are used to a packed schedule at this stage of the season, so don’t expect any tired legs. We are backing Pep Guardiola’s side to win the match on Saturday as they aim to secure the fourth consecutive league title. City have already beaten Luton twice this season, scoring eight goals in the process. This will be the first meeting at the Etihad.
Pep’s side have lost just one of their 54 home games across all competitions since the start of last season. They scored an average of 2.98 goals per game during that run and conceded just 0.7, so it’s hard to look past Manchester City on the 1×2 market.
Bet 1: Manchester City to win @ 1.09 Bet9ja
Rob Edwards’ Side Can Pose a Threat
We are picking both teams to score for the next of our Manchester City vs Luton predictions. Pep Guardiola’s side conceded two goals as they rested some key players against Crystal Palace last weekend. They are likely to hand starts to several fringe players once again and should lose some of their defensive stability as a result.
Despite battling relegation, Luton have displayed a great deal of attacking intent in all of their matches. Rob Edwards’ side have scored in both of their head-to-heads with Manchester City this season. The Hatters average 1.13 goals per Premier League away game, so GG at odds of 2.26 seems to be a solid bet.
Bet 2: GG @ 2.26 Bet9ja
Opportunity Beckons for Alvarez
Manchester City are likely to rest some key players here ahead of the second leg against Real Madrid. Phil Foden is the team’s second top scorer in the Premier League this season and is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock at the Bernabeu.
As Haaland could also sit out of this one, the goals will have to come from someone else. Julian Alvarez is a World Cup winner, but has had limited opportunities to play as a striker at City. However, we are backing him to get his name on the scoresheet this weekend.
Alvarez has a non-penalty xG of 0.39 per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season. He has featured as a midfielder, attacking midfielder and striker, contributing with eight league goals. We can back him to find the net once again at odds of 2.10 with Bet9ja.
Bet 3: Alvarez to score @ 2.10 Bet9ja
Set Pieces Key for Luton
Manchester City should dominate from the very first whistle, but the corner handicap for Luton is of interest here. We can back Luton +6 on this market at odds of 1.84. Pep’s side have been averaging 5.07 more corners than their opponents in Premier League matches at the Etihad this season, but they won’t be at full strength this Saturday.
This bet has won in the last two head-to-heads between these sides. Luton had just two fewer corners than Arsenal in their last away match. The stats in their away games throughout the league campaign also show promise. Rob Edwards’ side averaged just 2.44 fewer corners than their opponents in those encounters.
Bet 4: Luton +6 (home -6) corner handicap @ 1.84 Bet9ja
