In the last round of the Premier League, on the eve of the cup game, Nottingham Forest easily won away against Wolverhampton with a score of 3:0.

Luton Town
EnglandCurrent form
Last season, Luton Town tried their hand at the Premier League, but failed to gain a foothold there. This season, the Hatters are already fighting for survival in the Championship.

The worrying fact is that the team has lost four matches in a row, scoring only two goals. Luton have only four points away from home since the start of the season, making them one of the worst clubs in the Championship in this regard.

Burke, Mengi, Baptiste and Doughty are injured and will not play today.

9.10Tip and bets
We don't think there will be any intrigue in this cup match, even if the hosts make a serious rotation of the squad. Nottingham Forest are having a great season, are aiming for a spot in the Champions League, the club is distinguished by its team play, each of the players knows how to act in a given situation, the Foresters are especially reliable in defense. Luton Town are currently in a decent decline, have lost four matches in a row, and have only won one away game in the Championship. It is unlikely that the Hatters will surprise the Premier League representative with anything today.
Our prediction is a Nottingham Forest victory with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.70
Bet on total
Nottingham Forest have won four games in a row with a clean sheet. It is clear that it will be difficult for the visitors to break through such a reliable opponent defense even once. It is highly likely that there will be no exchange of goals today.
Second bet - both will not score with odds of 1.76
Bet on the first half
Let pay attention to the fact that Nottingham Forest have been playing strong in the opening periods and have won the last four matches by the end of the first half. We expect that the foresters will immediately show their advantage in the cup game.
Prediction - Nottingham Forest win in the first half with odds of 1.92
