3pm Saturday

Stoke v Nottingham Forest

The feelgood factor is back at Nottingham Forest after club legend Martin O'Neill has led the club to an impressive four-match unbeaten run, including a win over arch-rivals Derby, and now the news of a major redevelopment of the City Ground.

Forest will be flying after beating Derby 1-0 on Monday and in recent matches they have also beaten Brentford as well as collecting excellent draws at promotion-chasing West Brom and in-form Preston.

The Baggies draw would have been better but for a late penalty conceded following a Dwight Gayle dive which saw the striker banned it was so blatant.

Forest should have little to fear from the trip to a Stoke side who have won just once since Christmas and managed just 12 shots on target in their last six matches.

Recommendation
Nottm Forest +0.5 Asian handicap
1pt 7-9 188Bet

Luton v Rochdale

If Stoke look vulnerable favourites the same sentiments don't apply to Sky Bet League One leaders Luton.

The Hatters were pegged back by Coventry last time out but it was not a poor performance from Luton, who had won six on the spin prior to the minor slip-up.

Rochdale, who have lost nine of their last 11, must be fearing the trip to Kenilworth Road after allowing 14 shots on target in last week's 5-1 defeat at Plymouth and conceding four in defeat to Wimbledon.

Recommendation
Luton -1 Asian handicap
1pt 7-12 188Bet
