Nottingham take on the visitors Luton in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 21st at City Ground (Nottingham).
Nottingham Forest unexpectedly returned to the Premier League in the spring of the previous year, but it was through playoff matches, and it seemed like Steve Cooper's proteges would be outsiders in the competition. Especially since the owners had overloaded the dressing room with newcomers. However, they managed to accumulate 38 points, which was enough to finish in 16th place that time. Now, after the summer break, they are successfully adding to their tally whenever possible. They lost to Arsenal and a couple of Manchester giants but managed to defeat Sheffield United and even Chelsea. They also drew against Burnley, Brentford, and Crystal Palace.

Luton doesn't want to accept the status of a hopeless underdog. In the 1980s, the Hatters were regulars in the country's top division and even won the League Cup. However, there was a long hiatus, and it was only in recent years that they made progress. In 2022, they made their first attempt to rise, but it ended in a playoff defeat. However, the next attempt, now under Edwards, was successful. But it seemed that the Premier League was getting a clear underdog, a visitor for the year, due to the newcomer's very modest personnel and financial capabilities. They began with four consecutive defeats. However, at the end of September, they first secured a draw against Wolverhampton and then defeated a direct competitor, Burnley. Alongside this, they suffered elimination from the League Cup against the unassuming Exeter. In the last couple of league matches, they experienced home defeats against Burnley and Tottenham.
Luton have gone undefeated against Nottingham Forest four times in a row, alternating between draws and wins. However, this was in the Championship between 2020 and 2022. The Trickies have all the cards in their hands and should make good use of them. Let's bet on their home victory in this matchup.
Prediction for the match: Nottingham to win.
