Luton Town Preview
Luton Town reached this stage of the FA Cup after beating Wigan 3-2. They tied the first confrontation and an extra game was played to break the tie. So, it is worth mentioning that, if that is repeated in regulation time of this match, an extra game will also be played.
Luton has just beaten Wigan again, this time in the Championship by a score of 0-2, and that victory could give them confidence to face this match. Their performance in the league is regular, and they are currently in seventh place with eleven wins, nine draws, and seven defeats in 27 games played.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Ethan Horvath; Gabriel Osho, Gabriel Osho, Reece Burke, James Bree; Amari’i Bell, Louie Watson, Jordan Clark, Allan Campbell, Alfie Doughty; Elijah Adebayo, Cauley Woodrow
Grimsby Town Preview
Grimsby Town plays in the English League Two, and if we judge their performance there, the team leaves much to be desired. They are currently ranked 16th with eight wins, six draws, and ten losses, and recently suffered a 5-0 loss to Swindon.
They beat Burton by a score of 1-0 to advance to the last 16 of the FA Cup, having previously beaten Plymouth 5-1 and Cambridge United 1-2. This will be their fourth match, but it is the first time they have faced an opponent from a higher category.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Max Crocombe; Michee Efete, Andy Smith, Niall Maher, Daniel Amos; Kieran Green; Brendan Kiernan, Gavan Holohan, Harry Clifton, Otis Khan; John McAtee.
JefeBet Prediction
Luton Town have only lost one of their last 10 home games in all competitions, the most recent being a 2-3 home defeat to West Brom. However, his overall numbers are better than his opponent’s, which gives them an advantage to be considered a favorite here.
Prediction: Luton Town win by a score of 3-0.
