After securing promotion to the Championship in the 2022/23 season by winning the League One title, Plymouth had a rough last season where they barely secured survival. The Pilgrims finished 21st, just one point away from relegation. Over the Summer, the team tried to fix some problems by appointing Wayne Rooney as the head coach and also by adding a few young players, mostly on loan deals. Unfortunately, the Pilgrims started the season poorly, winning only five points in six rounds.
Luton Town spent their last season in the Premier League, which was their first-ever appearance in the English top-flight division. Unfortunately, they weren't good enough to secure survival and eventually got relegated - finishing six points away from the safe zone. Even though most football pundits predicted a good season in the Championship, the Hatters started the season terribly, with just one point in the first four rounds. Still, with back-to-back wins against Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall, there are some signs of improvement. Right now, the Hatters are 15th with seven points in six rounds.
Plymouth vs Lutton Town pick: Under 2.5 goals
Plymouth are playing pretty poorly, and as the season progresses, they only seem worse. The Pilgrims lost three out of the last four matches and even failed to score in those losses. So, scoring against last season's Premier League team will definitely be a challenge.
Meanwhile, Luton have been great for this type of bet away from home. They were under 2.5 goals in three Championship games while scoring only one goal! Additionally, we saw fewer than three goals in the Carabao Cup game against QPR as well.
Furthermore, these teams scored five goals in six Championship games - 0.833 per game, so expecting a great offensive display from either side is unreal. Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet should be the best option for the upcoming Championship tie.

Luton Town team news
After a 2:1 win against Sheffield Wednesday, coach Rob Edwards spoke to the media. He was happy to record the first home win of the season. The coach noted they had set pieces and a couple of good moves but had difficulties converting those chances. "I thought the impact that the subs made was great, and that's what we want. We've got a squad for a reason," Edwards added.
