Luton vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 Goals

Luton return to Kenilworth Road after falling victim to one of the greatest comebacks in EPL history on Wednesday. 

Three goals up at half-time in their road game at Bournemouth, four goals conceded in the second-half condemned Luton to a disastrous away defeat when victory seemed all but assured. A win would have lifted Luton out of the relegation zone and ahead of their opponents this weekend. 

High-scoring outcomes have been a regular theme for Luton this season. At Kenilworth Road, each of Luton´s last four home matches saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. Going back a little further, eight of their last 11 home matches saw both outcomes. 

In addition, an average of 3.47 goals have been scored in Luton´s home matches this season while six of their last ten home matches saw at least four goals scored.

Visiting Forest arrive at Kenilworth Road just three points above the home side. Nuno Espírito Santo´s side have lost each of their last four matches while they have only claimed one win in their last 11 away EPL matches. On their travels, six of Forest´s last eight away EPL matches saw BTTS while an average of 3.6 goals were scored in their last five road fixtures.

These sides played out an entertaining 2:2 draw when they met in Nottingham earlier this year and a similar outcome could be on the cards. Neither side look capable of a clean sheet so BTTS has to be the best bet for Saturday´s crucial Premier League contest.
