Luton vs. Nottingham – Prediction (Championship – 02.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Winning just two home league matches so far this season (D2, L2), Luton have conceded first in four league meetings here, coming back to claim points in three games to fall within that category (W1, D2). Having not trailed at the break in six home matches, Luton have won just one first half here this season. Luton strikers James Collins and Harry Cornick have five league goals apiece this season. The latter ‘Hatter’ has two goals from his last three appearances. A total average of 0.83 first-half goals-per-game have been scored here in six Championship matches. Over 90 minutes, however, that figure quadruples to 3.33 goals-per-game, signifying a potentially high-octane second half.

Luton and Forest have only failed to score in one of their home and away league matches respectively. The hosts have conceded four home goals in the 46th-60th minute period (GF 2, GA4). Meanwhile, Forest have scored four away goals in the 46th-75th minute period (GF 4, GA2).

The potential for goals is further reflected in the fact that Forest’s seven away games have averaged 2.29 total goals-per-game. The visitors have lost just one away game so far (W3, D3, L1), and seven of Forest’s nine away goals have come in the second half. Five-goal Forest forward Lewis Grabban has one career goal against the hosts, but Matty Cash has two goals this term, and was the final goalscorer last time out. Forest also boast the second-best away form over five league awaydays. This is all the more remarkable when one sees that they have conceded first in five of seven away trips, returning a record of: W1, D3, L1, thereafter.
