All the odds as Town travel to Alfreton

Luton scraped through their FA Trophy encounter with Staines Town, albeit at the second time of asking after playing out a goalless draw away at Wheatsheet Park last Saturday.

The Hatters made amends on Tuesday night however, a comfortable 2-0 win as the club continue on their challenge for two trophies.

The Swans fought valiantly but were ultimately undone, with second half goals from Andy Parry and Shaun Walley enough to get John Still’s men through and earn a home tie with Wrexham in the next round.

Hatters were able to rest the duo of Paul Benson and Andre Gray, both likely to return for the trip Alfreton Town on Saturday.

Luton look the biggest dangers to Cambridge as BetVictor make The U’s 10/11 favourites for the Conference title, 5/1 favourites for the FA Trophy.

Luton remain second favourites in both competitions; 7/2 for the title and 7/1 for the Trophy – a lovely 36/1 double.

Despite losing to Nuneaton twice inside four days Nicky Law’s Alfreton Town have been in very good form, winning four of their last six games in the Conference, a run that has seen them creep into contention for a play-off spot.

BetVictor make Luton the 23/10 favourites, Alfreton 23/10 and the draw 5/2. The home side should not be underestimated however having won eight from 11 at the Impact Arena in the league this season.

Luton are 1/3 to make it 14 games unbeaten and 4/7 in the draw no bet market.

Gray is the favourite to open the scoring, while Benson is 5/1 with BetVictor to net the first goal and 7/5 to score anytime, similarly Luke Guttridge makes appeal at the 11/5 to get on the scoresheet for the seventh time this season.

The bedrock of Luton’s recent form has been their defence, as they are 21/10 to not be breached on Saturday however if Luton are to concede we are hoping they can still get the job done; the 2-1 correct score 17/2 with BetVictor, a repeat of the 4-3 thriller against Halifax 125/1.
