Nottingham Forest are psyched for a new test after their 1-1 against Reading last time. Luton Town are coming to visit!
- Nottingham Forest have the fewest matches under the total-line (5) in Championship
- Luton Town haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Nottingham Forest and Luton Town.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
Nottingham Forest's results here at The City Ground in the Championship have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Nottingham travelled for their previous game, a trip to Reading that ended 1-1. The goalie Brice Samba was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.84 out of ten. Samba stopped the opponent with five saves.
Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Preston North End.This is expected to be a close game, with Nottingham Forest perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nottingham Forest as a small favourite), we find 24 games. Nottingham has won eight of these, drawn six and lost ten.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nottingham as they are travelling to their away game against West Bromwich Albion in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.
Nottingham has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Nottingham have conceded 15 from these games.
Luton Town form and stats
Luton Town have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Championship, after 2-3-4 (9 played). Luton seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Luton aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 208 league minutes without a goal. H. Cornick was the last player to find the net.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Luton, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Queens Park Rangers (placed 6th). Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu got a match rating of 7.12 in that game, top player of the team. Mpanzu hit one key pass and had 35 successful passes (of 42 total).
A 0-1 loss hosting Stoke City before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Luton in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Luton Town, two draws and three defeats.
After this away game Luton return home for a Championship game against Cardiff City. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Luton have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 11 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Luton Town have conceded 14 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: three - one - three (Nottingham wins - draws - Luton Town wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
