Nottingham Forest vs Luton Prediction

Nottingham Forest play host to Luton Town in the ninth round of the Premier League on Saturday afternoon at The City Ground.

The hosts are winless in four straight league matches but they’ve also lost just one of the previous five league affairs.

Steve Cooper’s men are unbeaten at home this season but we must say they’ve faced the likes of Sheffield United, Burnley, and Brentford along the way.

We must praise Nottingham Forest for a great performance in the previous round when they well deserved to take all three points from the trip to Selhurst Park.

It ended in a goalless draw although the Reds missed numerous opportunities on the occasion.

Luton, on the other side, continued their top flight struggles with a 0-1 home loss to new table-toppers Tottenham Hotspur before the international break.

The Hatters did have their chances against ten-man Spurs at Kenilworth Road but failed to convert any and ended up losing after a Van de Ven set-piece goal.

It was the sixth defeat in eight Premier League games for Rob Edwards’ troops who have managed to find the back of the net just six times along the way (the second-worst attacking record in the league).

Latest Meetings

These two sides last met each other in the 2021/22 Championship campaign when Luton took four points from two meetings with Nottingham Forest without conceding a single goal in the process.

Nottingham Forest, however, have 10 wins, 6 draws, and just 2 defeats in the last 18 home outings against the Hatters.

None of the previous four clashes between these teams saw three or more goals scored.

The Verdict

The quality is on Nottingham Forest’s side and we would be surprised to witness any other scenario but a home win on Saturday. You can back it at the 1.61 odds.

We also like the hosts to keep a clean sheet at the 2.10 odds knowing how strong they looked defensively two weeks ago at Selhurst Park.
