England League Cup -- Luton Town VS Manchester United
-----------------------------------
Luton Town
Luton Town finally ranked 19th in the England Championship last season, only 3 points away from the relegation. In order to improve the strength, Luton Town signed defender Tom Lockyer, Aston Villa's James Bree and attacking midfielder Jordan Clark this summer. Tom Lockyer made 43 appearances for Charlton Athletic in the Premier League last season and scored 1 goal, who was a big force of the team’s defense. Their joining is obviously effective that Luton Town won all the six games, including the warm-ups, four of which were clean sheets. Both of their offensive and defensive performance is quite perfect.

Manchester United
Manchester United encountered Waterloo in the new season. First, they lost to Aston Villa in the warm-up match, and then lost 1-3 to Crystal Palace at home in the first round of Premier League. They have conceded 4 goals in two games, which proves that there are huge problems with them. Although Manchester United signed Donny van de Beek from Ajax this summer with 39 million Euros, whose cooperation with Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba is bound to increase the strength, it seems that the team still needs time to get it right.

Data Analysis
For now, although the two sides have a large gap in reputation and strength, Manchester United is obviously inferior to Luton Town in terms of recent stats and status. In addition, Manchester United may not send all the main players in this League Cup game, I see a stalement in it. The handicap odds Manchester United -1.75 turned to -1.5, showing less confidence in them. The home team’s win rate of handicap odds is only 20%, I personally think that it is necessary to expect a draw game.

Pick: Luton Town +1.5
Score Prediction: 1-1, 2-2

And you?
