Chelsea vs Luton Town: Go for Total, Not Moneyline
No other team spent more money than Chelsea during the offseason. Nevertheless, the team is currently sitting in 15th place.
However, despite starting the season on the wrong foot, Chelsea is heavily favored in the Premier League odds to defeat recently promoted Luton Town. Chelsea is offering a -460 price to win straight up. They also remain among the favorites to dethrone champion Manchester City at +1600.
This will be the first EPL meeting between the two since the 1991-92 season.
Chelsea Clear Home Favorite
Chelsea began the season with a draw against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Despite playing at home, Chelsea was the betting online underdog. Considering that, a draw wasn’t a bad result. Chelsea should have won the match, with 65% possession and three more shots on target.
Most recently, they faced West Ham United on the road as betting favorites. Nevertheless, they lost 3-1. Once again, they won possession and finished with more shots in total but couldn’t capitalize despite having one more player after the 67th minute. West Ham’s Nayef Aguerd was sent off.
As mentioned, Chelsea is offering a -460 price in the Premier League lines to win straight up. They deserve it. After all, they haven’t lost in their last seven games at home in all competitions. Plus, they scored in all seven games and finished with a clean sheet twice.
In addition, this team has talent to spare. Noni Madueke, Moises Caicedo, Mason Burstow and Mykhaylo Mudryk didn’t start against West Ham. Their attacking unit is led by Raheem Sterling, who’s offering a +6600 price in the sportsbook to win the Golden Boot, which is not bad for a winger.
Luton Town Already Relegation Favorite
Everybody is expecting Luton Town to be relegated. According to the Las Vegas odds, the team is the betting favorite to do so (-335).
That price increased after opening the season with a 4-1 defeat against Brighton. Luton Town never stood a chance, losing possession with 29% and finishing with only three shots on goal. Brighton finished with 12.
To be honest, it’s very hard to come up with reasons to recommend you bet on the visitors, but in the end, they have nothing to lose and much to win. They can take advantage of the fact that Chelsea is under a lot of pressure.
Luton Town is offering a +1000 price to win straight up. The team’s total is also a very option to include in your betting online ticket, offering a -115 price to score more than ½ goals. That’s much lower than Chelsea’s moneyline, and you wouldn’t need them to win the game in order to win the bet.
Chelsea Dominant in Head-to-Head
Yes, these two haven’t met in the EPL since the 1991-92 season, but don’t worry, we do have a recent matchup to talk about. They collided in the Round of 16 of the 2021-2022 FA Cup. Luton Town put up a good fight, but Chelsea ended up winning 3-2.
The total also went over three goals the last time they collided at Stamford Bridge. It was in the 2020-21 edition of the FA Cup. Chelsea won 3-1.

Chelsea Will Win, But Bet the Over
Besides winning, Chelsea needs to send a strong message to other title contenders. That’s why I believe the team will go all in right from the start. Include the over in your soccer picks, which is offering a very good price.
Regarding prop bets, both teams to score in the match, which I think will happen, is Ev. I also expect Nicolas Jackson (Ev) to score his first goal.
