Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - April 3, 2023

Leeds vs Nottingham Forest
English Premier League
Date: 4 April 2023, Tuesday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Elland Road (Leeds).

With just one point separating Leeds and Nottingham Forest down in the relegation scrap, we have all the ingredients of a six-pointer on Tuesday evening when these two rivals meet each other in the postponed outing of Gameweek No 7.

Nottingham Forest conceded a late equalizer from Wolves’ lone shot on target to drop two precious points in another six-pointer three days ago at The City Ground.

Steve Cooper finally had reasons to be satisfied with his team’s display as the Reds were in control of happenings on the pitch throughout the majority of the game.

Nevertheless, a draw means the Reds are now winless in seven straight Premier League games. Such a run has dropped them to 15th place and they are currently only one point above Leeds and Everton in the red zone.

Leeds, on the other side, terminated their two-game unbeaten run with a tough 4-1 loss at the hands of sovereign leaders Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

However, Javi Gracia’s men have shown strength in the earlier games, scoring six goals in two outings against Brighton and Wolves.

The hosts will have enough room to deliver in the final third past the leaky Nottingham Forest defense on Tuesday.

Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Head-to-head

• Nottingham Forest celebrated a narrow 1-0 victory two months ago when the teams locked horns at The City Ground.
• Nottingham Forest now have three victories and a draw in the previous four H2H encounters with the Peacocks.
• All but one of the previous six H2H affairs between these counterparts ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

We believe the low-scoring trend in this matchup should come to an end on Tuesday because both Leeds and Nottingham have been fairly easy to break down in recent weeks. We do like Leeds’ chances for a win knowing about the Reds’ horrendous away record.

However, there is really no much value in backing the hosts at the 1.75 odds. Instead, we will take the Both Teams To Score bet at the 1.90 odds. Alternatively, we like the value of the 3.75 odds offered for Brennan Johnson to score anytime for the visitors.

Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips

• Both Teams To Score @ 1.90 (9/10)

• Brennan Johnson to score anytime @ 3.75 (7/4) odd.
