Nottingham Forest Leicester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is that Nottingham Forest will be winning at half-time. Not only are the home side enjoying massive support from their fans, but they are also enjoying a positive run of form on the road, apart from the fact that they have a vastly superior squad. It's also worth noting that Leicester City have struggled on the road, especially against more intense and organized teams. So expect Forest to dominate the first 45 minutes, with a good chance of going into the break ahead.

Nottingham Forest got an away win by (1‑3), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 25‑10‑2024. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 4 matches they won 3 and lost 1. Leicester registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

The home team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 61 points won, after 18 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Brentford, by (0‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Crystal Palace, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Nottm Forest has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 20 points out of 30 possible. There are a few recurrent results in their home league matches at half‑time: 0‑0 (7 out of 17 matches) and 1‑0 (6 out of 17 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 12 of the last 17 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 35 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Nottingham Forest come into this match on the back of a one-all draw at Palace: Murillo scored the team's only goal. The team coached by Nuno Espírito Santo will stick to their usual 4-3-3 tactical system, relying heavily on quick transitions and forays down the flanks. Anthony Elanga and Chris Wood will take center stage in attack, with creative support from Nicolás Domínguez and the versatile Morgan Gibbs-White, the latter in charge of the attacking play from midfield. Ryan Yates is out through injury, as is Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has a physical problem.

Confirmed Lineup: Matz Sels, Ola Aina, Nikola Milenković, Neco Williams, Morato, Nicolás Domínguez, Elliott Anderson, Morgan Gibbs-White, Ibrahim Sangaré, Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga.
Coach: N. Simões Espírito Santo.

Analysis Leicester

The away team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 5 wins, 6 draws and 24 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, by (3‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Southampton, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 2 draws and 12 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 39 conceded; against 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 32 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Leicester has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 13 of the last 17 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 6 of the last 35 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 4 of those 6 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 35 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 29 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Leicester City go into this match on the back of a 2-0 win at Southampton, with Jamie Vardy and Jordan Ayew scoring the goals. The team coached by Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to stick to its usual 4-3-3 formation, based on fast and dynamic soccer, looking to exploit the spaces provided by the opposition's defense. Up front, Bilal El Khannouss, Kasey McAteer and the experienced Jamie Vardy form a dangerous trident, capable of breaking the deadlock at any time. In the center of the field, Wilfred Ndidi plays the role of maestro, dictating the pace of the game and driving the Foxes' offensive transitions. Ricardo Pereira, Stephy Mavididi, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Mads Hermansen, Issahaku Fatawu and Harry Souttar are all out with fitness problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Jakub Stolarczyk, James Justin, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas, Conor Coady, Oliver Skipp, Wilfred Ndidi, Kasey McAteer, Bilal El Khannous, Jamie Vardy, Jordan Ayew.
Coach: B. Rodgers.
