Nottingham Forest vs. Leeds: Match Prediction
Nottingham Forest needs to start turning things around. After 10 rounds, they have only one victory, which they secured in the opening round. The last match against Manchester United gives hope, as the team nearly defeated the in-form Red Devils. Sean Dyche is gradually changing the game of his new charges, and at least they have stopped losing in both the Premier League and European competition. They just need to secure a second Premier League win, especially since their opponent is far from being a mid-table team.
Leeds, if dangerous, are only so at home. On the road, the team tends to lose, often conceding two or more goals. In their last 10 away Premier League matches, the club has suffered 9 defeats, managing to defeat only the struggling Wolverhampton. Additionally, the last head-to-head meeting at the City Ground in the Premier League ended with a 1-0 victory for the hosts, followed by two more wins for Nottingham Forest in the Championship.
My prediction – Nottingham Forest to win
