Luton vs Nottingham Match Preview and Prediction
Luton vs Nottingham: Luton enters this game coming off four straight losses at home in various competitions. Throughout these four defeats, the Hatters gave up 14 goals. In all competitions, Luton has scored three goals or more in nine of their last ten games.
At Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, the stakes will be as high as imaginable. In a true relegation six-pointer, Luton takes on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League’s 29th round. Standing side by side in the league rankings, the two teams are exactly on the edge of the danger zone.
Within four days, Luton will begin their frantic schedule with a key match against Bournemouth. Manager Rob Edwards is unhappy with his team’s recent play. A 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday broke Luton’s five-game losing streak in all competitions. Cauley Woodrow scored the game’s late equalizer against a side that outplayed the Hatters.
Not that Nottingham Forest has improved recently. Their changing room isn’t pristine anymore. Last Sunday, they lost 0-1 at Brighton, their fourth straight loss in all competitions. Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is clearly testing his ideal team. Today, the Portuguese drastically changed their starting lineup. Reds fans are unhappy with this strategy lately.
Luton vs Nottingham: Betting Analysis
Luton has won five straight against Liverpool. Two wins and three draws have been theirs. In the reverse game at City Ground last October, the teams tied 2-2. Only one of Luton’s five matches against Nottingham Forest has three or more goals.
Results have been scarce for both teams in recent weeks. We trust Nottingham Forest’s defensive line more than Luton’s. Recent losses include four goals at Liverpool, six at Manchester City, and three at Aston Villa. They allowed many high-profile chances against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last Saturday.
Nottingham Forest haven’t scored in three games, but this encounter offers a chance to bounce back. The Reds’ defense line played well against Manchester United, Liverpool, and Brighton in the last three games. Thus, we will wager on the away win at 2.50 odds.
The Luton team does not play defense today. When it comes to their games, it is always a good idea to support a high-scoring scenario. The rematch between these two adversaries that took place in October of last year concluded with a score of 2-2. We are going to bet with over 2.5 goals FT with odds of 1.70.
