Luton Town - Nottingham Forest predictions

Luton Town may come out on top this Saturday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Nottingham Forest. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.90 for the hosts to win.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Tricky Trees are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Luton Town were on the verge of pulling a huge surprise in their previous Premier League clash. Playing away as the $ODDS_AWAY_LAST_ROUND underdogs they surprised everyone by claiming a lead at the break but it was all undone in the second half, resulting in them losing $HPOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY.

Nottingham Forest were the clear underdogs in their previous Premier League matchup, as indicated by the overwhelming 5.30 odds that most bookies offered for their win. As expected, they lost, but not nearly as bad as many tipsters expected. A one-goal difference is not insurmountable, and it gives their supporters hope that they’ll be able to make up the points somewhere else.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Premier League outings.

This will not be an easy match for the hosts, but they’ll want to come out on top. We’re nearing the end of the season, and they need 0 points if they wish to avoid relegation.

Tricky Trees have no time to relax and we’re heading into the home stretch of the Premier League season. After 29 matches, they sit in 17th with 24 points to their name. Being dangerously close to the relegation zone with 3 points keeping them within safety, a win in Kenilworth Road Stadium is so much needed.

Despite being favourites, Forest couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Luton Town. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

The home team’s lineup has been severely impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries. Specifically, Tom Lockyer, Amari Bell, Elijah Adebayo, Daniel Potts, Marvelous Nakamba, Jacob Brown, Albert Sambi Lokonga are all away due to injury-related reasons. This makes their chances of beating the visiting side even slimmer and should be a major consideration before choosing to bet one way or the other.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.67 odds offered at Betway.
