Tuesday's EFL preview

After taking one point from their first seven Championship matches, Nottingham Forest are building up a head of steam under Steve Cooper and they are an appealing price to beat Luton at the City Ground.

A home win would propel Forest above the Hatters and they should be in good heart after losing only one of their last 11 league matches.

That lone defeat was an excusable 4-0 loss to rampant leaders Fulham and, having beaten Preston 3-0 in their previous home match, the Tricky Trees look value to see off Luton.

The Hatters have lost three of their last four, against Preston, Stoke and QPR, failing to score in all three defeats, and they look vulnerable against Cooper's improving Forest.

Doncaster ended a run of eight straight away defeats in League One with a 1-1 draw at bottom club Crewe before the international break and they resumed their campaign by holding Lincoln to a goalless stalemate at home.

Donny are on their best run of a disappointing season, losing only one of their last five in the league and winning away to League Two Scunthorpe in both the FA Cup and the EFL Trophy.

They restricted Lincoln to one shot on target on Saturday and are worth backing to frustrate Bolton, who have lost seven of their last 11 league matches, all of them to nil.

The Trotters' only win in their last seven came against struggling Crewe and they were dumped out of the FA Cup by non-league Stockport last week, losing 5-3 after extra-time.
