Watford v Luton Town Betting Tips: Sunday 23rd February 2025

With only 13 matches remaining in the 2024/25 Championship season, pressure is mounting for teams up and down the table and the football betting odds are ramping up as we enter the business stage of the campaign.

Leeds and Sheffield United are sitting pretty in the automatic promotion berths, yet there’s a lot of congestion behind them, with seven points splitting fifth and 13th. The Championship top half finish odds are tight and it remains too close to call.

At the other end of the table, Stoke, Cardiff, and Hull are far from safe despite sitting outside of the bottom three at the time of writing. Only a few teams – five at most – have nothing to play for over the final two-plus months of the season.

Watford vs Luton

With only one home defeat to Luton since 1994, Watford are narrow Championship betting favourites for the latest edition of the M1 Derby on Sunday afternoon.

Prior to a win over Middlesbrough last time out, the Hornets had one win in 11 across all competitions. They have lost five in a row at Vicarage Road, including a heavy defeat to Leeds in their last match in front of their own fans.

While Luton’s form is poor, there’s little to choose between the underlying numbers of these two teams. We think the visitors can get something here.

Pick: Luton to win either half at 21/20
