Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Recent performance and H2H stats

Leeds United’s last 5 matches

Javi Gracia was aware of the challenge he was taking on when he became the head coach of Leeds in late February. He has now been in charge for six matches, with a record of two wins, one draw, and three losses. Leeds managed to secure four points from their two league matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers before the international break. However, they suffered a 4-1 loss against Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.

As of Sunday's fixtures, Leeds were ranked 16th in the league table. But after West Ham United's 1-0 victory over Southampton, they moved out of the relegation zone, causing Leeds to drop one spot to 17th. They are tied on points with 18th-placed Everton, who will be facing Tottenham Hotspur on Monday.

Leeds United’s last 5 matches

Leeds will have three consecutive home league fixtures against Forest, Crystal Palace, and Liverpool. However, they have struggled to maintain consistency in front of their home fans this season, only managing to collect 17 points.

Additionally, Leeds has lost three out of their last four matches against Forest. This includes a 1-0 loss in their earlier encounter at the City Ground in February.

Nottingham Forest’s last 5 matches

Steve Cooper's team had a match on Saturday afternoon as well, drawing 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City Ground. Brennan Johnson scored his eighth Premier League goal of the season, putting Forest ahead in the 38th minute. However, Daniel Podence equalized for Wolves in the 83rd minute.

Nottingham Forest’s last 5 matches

In the match against Wolves, Brennan Johnson scored Forest's eighth goal of the season, giving them the lead in the 38th minute. However, Daniel Podence equalized for Wolves in the 83rd minute.

Unfortunately, Forest has not been able to win any of their last seven league matches, with their last victory dating back to the start of February when they defeated Leeds 1-0. This has caused them to slide down the table once again, currently placing 15th. They are only one point ahead of Everton, who is in 18th place and playing against Tottenham before this contest.

At this point in the season, there are only three points separating 19th-placed Leicester City from Wolves in 13th. It is shaping up to be an exciting battle to remain in the top flight this season.
