Nottingham Forest are placed 19th with six points after ten matches. Leeds occupy a position as 16th in the league on 11 points.

Nottingham Forest are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Leeds and odds favour them to pull it off.

Leeds scored nine goals, conceded 17 and kept their opponents from scoring two times in ten matches.

Nottingham Forest vs Leeds Prediction

Nottingham Forest Form

It could have been better, it could have been worse for Nottingham Forest, who have two draws to show from their last three matches. They came up short in a 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth, followed by a 2-2 draw against Manchester United. They recorded yet another one in the latest round after a 0-0 match with Sturm Graz. Nottingham Forest claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored five and conceded 11 goals.

Nottingham Forest entered the season hunting for a title, however they find themselves far off track at this stage.

Leeds Form

It is all or nothing with Leeds, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 2-0 against Burnley, before beating West Ham 2-1. Unable to build on that, they lost 3-0 against Brighton. Leeds managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring 15 time and letting in four.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Leeds would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

Nottingham Forest find it just as tough as Leeds to get on the scoreboard these days, and a match short on goal looks highly likely, when they clash at City Ground, Nottingham.

Nottingham Forest won one points from their last two encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won zero, scored one and let in four goals. Leeds earned six points from their last four games against teams placed in the bottom six of the Premier League table. They scored five goals in those matches, but also allowed five goals against on their way to two wins. Nottingham Forest have so far been able to win just once after ten Premier League games played, in stead showing off three draws and six defeats. Leeds are looking at three wins, two draws and five defeats in the Premier League.
