Newcastle Utd take on the visitors Luton Town at “St James' Park” in the clash of the 1/32 stage of the English FA Cup. The game will be played in Newcastle upon Tyne on Saturday, January 6th.
In this season Newcastle Utd look quite unconvincing in face of their supporters, having gained only 11 points in 11 encounters conducted at the home ground within the Premier League. The club’s attack leaves much to be desired, having scored just nine goals so far while its defense feels not so bad, having conceded only 13 goals. It is quite evident that the side is not in its best shape now and something has to be changed in order to improve the situation. In their latest fights played at “St James' Park” “The Magpies” got 0:0 draw against Brighton and two losses to Manchester City and Everton with the same 0:1 scoreline.

Meanwhile, Luton Town represent the League Two where they are leading now and claim for a promotion to the League One. The club shows quite solid football at away pitches, having earned 23 points in 13 away battles. The team’s attack performs great, having scored 21 goals while its defense also copes with its duties perfectly well, having conceded only 12 goals so far. In their recent games conducted on the road Luton Town recorded 0:4 smashing defeat from Port Vale, thrashing 5:0 triumph over Swindon Town and 2:0 victory over Forest Green Rovers.
It is quite obvious that Newcastle Utd are considered to be the favourites of the Cup fight as the club performs at the much higher football tier comparing to the forthcoming rival, however, it won’t be an easy walk for “The Magpies” as Luton Town will be able to make profit from the hosts’ underestimation and tiredness. But in any case, the visitors’ chances for success are too small.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle Utd to win.
