Luton’s mentality to be tested
Oh, how different things could have been for Luton going into this game. At halftime of their midweek match against Bournemouth—their game in hand on the teams around them—Luton were out of the relegation zone. They had moved level on points with Nottingham Forest but were ahead on goal difference, giving them the advantage over this weekend’s opponents.
Unfortunately for the Hatters, football is played over two halves. And they absolutely capitulated after the break. The first Bournemouth goal came five minutes after halftime, and within 20 minutes of the restart, the Cherries were level. The sickener came in the 83rd minute when Bournemouth’s comeback was complete. It leaves Luton in the relegation zone, three points behind Nottingham Forest, having lost the advantage of the game in hand.
Luton can still leapfrog Forest with a win, but it won’t be as comfortable a lead as they would have liked at this season stage. It now extended Luton’s winless run to seven in the Premier League, with five defeats and just two draws. Nottingham Forest aren’t faring much better. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have lost their past three league games and four of their past five, only beating West Ham.
It’s been a tough 2024 for Nottingham Forest in general. They have six defeats from eight league games, at a time when they could have put some real daylight between themselves and the relegation zone. They also face a nervous wait to hear about a potential points deduction for breaking FFP.
Luton vs Nottingham Forest match tip
Carlton Morris to score anytime @ 15/8 with Sky Bet
Although Luton isn’t in form, Carlton Morris is, particularly at Kenilworth Road. The striker has scored in his last three Premier League home games while being directly involved in four (plus one assist) in his past four at Kenilworth Road.
