Nottingham vs Leeds prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-08 14:00.
[p]Nottingham Forest must sense a golden opportunity to end their long Premier League winless run when they host newly-promoted Leeds at the City Ground.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Sean Dyche may have won his first game as Forest manager, but his side have gone three without a victory since (D2, L1) after a frustrating 0-0 draw against Sturm Graz in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Back-to-back European clean sheets stand in stark contrast to their domestic fortunes, with the Tricky Trees failing to shut out any of their first ten opponents of a season in the top-flight for just the second time ever. That’s contributed to a nine-match winless run in the Premier League (D3, L6) that leaves Forest entrenched in the relegation zone, but no defeat across their last two competitive home matches (W1, D1) should inspire hope they can find the winning formula against unfancied opposition.[/p]
[p]The reality of the Premier League may be starting to bite for Leeds, who’ve lost three of their last four games (W1) after being soundly beaten 3-0 by Brighton last week. A pre-round four-point gap to safety means that alarm bells are unlikely to be ringing at Elland Road, but boss Daniel Farke will be determined for things to pick up soon given his own personal history with relegation battles. Nowhere is that feeling stronger than on the road where Leeds are one of two sides to concede first in all five of their trips (W1, L4), with only Burnley (15) conceding more away goals than Leeds (12) ahead of the weekend.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Forest are unbeaten in 13 top-flight H2Hs on home turf against Leeds (W6, D7), last losing in November 1971. Leeds were 2-1 winners the last time these two met in the Premier League, but they’ve not won successive games against Forest in the top tier since 1977.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Forest have failed to score in a pre-round league-high six games this season.[/p]
[p]Forest have conceded eight unanswered league goals after the hour mark this term.[/p]
[p]Leeds have lost 16 of the last 17 Premier League away games they conceded first in.[/p]
[p]Leeds have scored a league-low two goals after half-time in the top flight this season.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Both of Dan Ndoye’s Forest goals arrived before half-time in home games. Leeds defender Joe Rodon has scored half of his six career goals for club and country since the start of the season, all of which were headers before half-time![/p]
[p]Forest’s lengthy injury list now includes Douglas Luiz after he was forced off last week, while Callum Hudson-Odoi missed their game on Thursday with a dead leg. Leeds’ only concern surrounds Wilfried Gnonto.[/p]
