Nottingham vs Leeds Predictions

It is difficult to overestimate the significance of Sunday's match between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United given that the bottom eight teams in the Premier League are only separated by six points.
Both teams will be anxious for a win at the City Ground because Forest now sit three points above Leeds, who are one point above the relegation zone.

It is no secret that Nottingham Forest had a challenging start to the season as they battled to adjust to the demands of top-flight football. After achieving promotion through the playoffs, they won just one of their first 11 Premier League games.
Steve Cooper's team appeared to be headed for a quick return to the championship after a painful five-game losing streak between August and October, but over the past three months, they have gradually turned the tide.
In fact, the Tricky Trees are unbeaten in their last four league games and have only lost two of their previous 10 Premier League games. They have also picked up four wins and four draws along the way.

Additionally, Forest has won three of its last five home Premier League games while avoiding defeat in those contests, including victories against Liverpool and draws with Chelsea.
The East Midlands team's defense has improved, as evidenced by the fact that they have only allowed 14 goals in their last 12 league games after allowing a staggering 21 goals during their first eight league games and scoring only six goals in response.
Although Forest lost to Manchester United in the EFL Cup semifinals earlier this week on the basis of a 5-0 aggregate score, Cooper's team will be optimistic about their ability to upset Leeds straight away after gaining some much-needed momentum in the Premier League.

Leeds form

Leeds United had a strong start to the season, winning twice, drawing three times, and losing twice in their first seven Premier League games, but they were unable to maintain their strong early-season play.
After losing four straight league games in October, the Whites temporarily turned things around with back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Bournemouth. However, they have not managed a league win since then, instead posting three draws and three losses.

Leeds form

Leeds beat Cardiff City 5-2 in a third-round replay before defeating Accrington Stanley 3-1 to get to the round of 16, providing a pleasant diversion from their recent Premier League woes.
However, Jesse Marsch's team will find it difficult to translate their FA Cup success to the top level since they have won just two of their last 16 Premier League games and suffered losses in seven of their previous 12 games.
Leeds has only collected five of a possible 27 points on the road this year, giving them the second-worst away record in the division. They have gone on the road and recorded one victory, two draws, and six losses.
The fact that Marsch's club has scored more goals on the road than nine Premier League teams this season gives them confidence, despite the fact that Forest has kept three clean sheets in their previous five home league games, preventing Liverpool, Crystal Palace, and Leicester City from scoring.

Nottingham vs Leeds Betting Tips

Draw

Due to the fact that three of the previous five league games between these two clubs have resulted in a tie, we are projecting a draw on Sunday. You can see why we are picking these two teams to even things out this weekend given that hosts Nottingham Forest have only won one of their past five games overall and that three of Leeds' last six games have resulted in draws.

Both Teams to Score

Given that three of the last four meetings between Nottingham Forest and Leeds have concluded with goals at both ends of the field, there is a strong probability that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch in this game. Five of Leeds' past six league and cup games have ended with both teams scoring, while the hosts have only kept one clean sheet in their last five efforts. These facts support our prediction.
