When Luton Town and Bournemouth meet in the Premier League on Saturday, there are several key facts and figures to consider. Firstly, Luton have a history of beating Bournemouth at home, with their last victory coming in January 2022 when they won 3-2 in the Championship. This was their first win against Bournemouth at Kenilworth Road since October 1936 and October 1963.
In the reverse fixture at the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth came from behind to beat Luton 4-3. They last did the league double over the Hatters in 2007-08 in League One. Currently, Luton are winless in their last four home Premier League games since a 4-0 win over Brighton in January. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have won five away Premier League matches this season, matching their total from last season and only surpassed in the 2015-16 campaign.
Another important factor to consider is Luton’s performance on home soil this season. They have conceded 34 goals in just 18 games at Kenilworth Road, their most since 2019-20. Their average of 1.9 goals conceded per game is the joint-worst ratio on home soil in a season as a league club. Bournemouth, after a rough patch of away matches, have lost just two of their last nine on the road and have scored 23 away goals this season, second only to their total in the 2018-19 Premier League campaign.
In terms of goals scored and conceded at Kenilworth Road this season, there have been a total of 48 goals involved in just 15 games – with Luton scoring 22 and conceding 26. This puts Kenilworth Road among the stadiums where 50+ goals were scored in just six or fewer games – most recently achieved by Blackpool’s Bloomfield Road in
