Leeds United - Nottingham Forest betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 19:45 on 04/04/2023 played @ Elland Road refereed by Robert Jones

Leeds United are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Nottingham Forest may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.70 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Although The Whites are coming on the back of a harsh 4:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Arsenal , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

The previous Premier League game Nottingham Forest played was on home grounds, but top online bookmakers were not too optimistic about their chances going in. They somehow managed to take the lead in the first half, though, and eventually turned it into a welcome draw.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Whites have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Forest’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

With a 16th table position, The Whites are dangerously close to the dreaded relegation zone. Hopefully, the clash against Tricky Trees will be the first step upwards.

Although most of the season is yet to be played, Nottingham Forest’s table position is being chipped away with every round. They’re currently sitting at number 14th, but the unfavourable matchup that awaits them in Elland Road means that they may fall down even further.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Nottingham Forest carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking The Peacocks as somewhat more likely to win.

Stuart Dallas, Degnand Gnonto, Maximilian Wöber will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.
