The Tricky Trees are somewhat decent in recent games. The beat Wolves in the Carabao Cup, drew against Chelsea and won Southampton in the Premier League. There’s a chance they could beat Leicester this weekend.
Three out of Nottingham Forest’s last four matches across all competitions ended with both teams scoring at least one goal. Leicester City are lacking at the back, hence expecting this game to end similarly.
There’s a chance Nottingham Forest could receive at least two yellow cards against Leicester City. They recorded two yellow cards in each of their last two matches at least.
reached the semi-final of the Carabao Cup following a win over Wolves on penalty shootout. They won their last league game against Southampton and are out of the danger zone.
The Tricky Trees are occupying the 15th position with 17 points after 18 matches.
The Foxes have been disappointing in recent weeks, having lost their last three matches in the league. They occupy the 13th position with 17 points after 18 matches.
Both teams are even, form-wise and will put up a fight at the City Ground. There’s a chance this game could end in a draw but I’m backing Nottingham to continue from where they left off against Wolves.
Both teams are expected to score but I think Nottingham Forest could still go on and win the game.
Although I think Nottingham Forest might win this game, it’s safer when you back them to win or draw against Leicester City.
