The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Luton Town are in the 9th position while the guesting Nottingham Forest worry at 19th.
Luton Town have less rest than Nottingham Forest in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Championship game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Sheffield Wednesday, so at least Luton are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Luton Town form and stats
Luton Town have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Championship. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
A good away victory last time out for Luton, who won 1-0 against Sheffield Wednesday (placed 24th). Prior to that, an away loss at Millwall.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Luton as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Brentford are visiting.
The Luton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
Things could have gone better for Nottingham Forest in their Championship away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Nottingham Forest delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Derby County (placed 22nd) in their previous match; a Championship game. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Rotherham United.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nottingham manager C. Hughton as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Middlesbrough.
Goals are few and far between in Nottingham's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. As opposed to that, Nottingham Forest have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Luton-Nottingham Forest H2H statistics last five meetings regardless of arena: Luton Town two wins, Nottingham Forest three wins, zero draws. three of these five matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Luton Town missing players
