Showdown between Nottingham Forest - Luton Town! Even with mixed fortunes up until now, this fixture should be awesome!

Insights:
  • Nottingham Forest have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Luton Town have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

Nottingham Forest have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Nottingham Forest have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

An away draw last time out for Nottingham, facing Crystal Palace in a game that ended 0-0. Defender Murillo got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.95/10. Murillo hit two key passes and won 5 of 8 duels.

Before that, Nottingham Forest drew at home versus Brentford.

Gamblers who enjoy looking for low-scoring games might be interested to know that this club have played 5 league fixtures in a row with two or less goals (under 2.5).

Nottingham Forest are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games.

Luton Town form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

Luton might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Tottenham Hotspur proved too strong as Luton Town slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Kenilworth Road Stadium.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Burnley.

The attacking power of Luton Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. The Luton Town manager Edwards has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Luton Town have avoided defeat in the last 4 matches (2-2-0) facing Nottingham.
