- 诺丁汉森林队在旋转中赢得了六场比赛,在那场比赛中击败了曼联、阿斯顿维拉和托特纳姆热刺
- 红军最近的四场胜利都是零
- 周一在女王公园巡游者队失利后,卢顿已经连续十场客场失利
飞行森林应该成为帽匠们的首选
在2023/24赛季的英超联赛中,诺丁汉森林队和卢顿队只差一个名次和六分,但八个月在足球界是一段很长的时间,这两人这次都很享受极地运动。
上个赛季,红军一直在为帽匠队买单,并说他们已经开始了,因为那场险胜是一种轻描淡写,努诺·埃斯皮里托·桑托的球队目前在英超联赛中排名第三,与排名第二的阿森纳队积分持平。
与此同时,卢顿在英冠联赛中排名第20位,仅比降级区高出两分,这表明从顶级联赛降级是多么有害
生病的卢顿可能会再次挣扎
不出所料,诺丁汉森林队是这场比赛的热门,虽然桑托的主要重点将放在英超前四的比赛上,但俱乐部周围的良好感觉应该会让他在足总杯上表现不错。
与卢顿的第三轮比赛不太可能是一个障碍,因为帽匠队已经输掉了10场客场比赛,他们已经取得了27个进球。
森林队在六连胜的最后四场比赛中以零击败布伦特福德、托特纳姆、埃弗顿和狼队,他们希望在周六不失球的情况下击败卢顿。
- Nottingham Forest have won six matches on the spin, beating Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham in that run
- The Reds’ last four victories have all come to nil
- Following their defeat at QPR on Monday, Luton have now lost ten away games in a row
Flying Forest should top Hatters
Just one place and six points separated Nottingham Forest and Luton in the 2023/24 Premier League season but eight months is a long time in football and the pair have enjoyed polar campaigns this time around.
The Reds stayed up at the Hatters’ expense last term and to say they have kicked on since that narrow survival would be an understatement, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side currently sat third in the Premier League, level on points with second-placed Arsenal.
Luton, meanwhile, are struggling down in 20th in the Championship, just two points above the drop zone, showing just how detrimental relegation from the top flight can be.
Travel-sick Luton likely to struggle again
Unsurprisingly, Nottingham Forest are strong favourites for this clash and, while Santo’s main focus will be on the Premier League top-four race, the good feeling around the club should lead to a decent run at the FA Cup.
This third-round tie with Luton is unlikely to be much of a hurdle, given the Hatters have lost ten away games on the spin in a run which has seen them ship 27 goals.
Forest have beaten Brentford, Tottenham, Everton and Wolves to nil in their last four games of a six-match winning streak and they are fancied to see off Luton without conceding on Saturday.
