Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Tips, Bet Builder Predictions & Latest Odds
We have got an interesting encounter for Friday Night Football this week. Leeds United are hosting Nottingham Forest in a big game where both teams will want to move away from the relegation zone.
Leeds have had a solid January but will be hoping to put their last result behind them after losing 4-0 at home to Arsenal. Nottingham Forest have also had a decent time of it recently but won’t want to be complacent with only 14 games to go.
Here are our top three football betting tips ahead of Friday's big clash in Yorkshire.
Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Tips
Check out our best betting tips for the game, with free bet offers to go alongside each selection.
Tip 1: Draw and both teams to score
Leeds is showing that they have the potential to stay in the Premier League despite only being promoted last year. They are sitting in 16th spot and are six points clear of the relegation zone.
They have shown good home form this season with 19 of their 26 points gained at Elland Road. Wins against Chelsea and Fulham along with draws against Liverpool and Manchester United have helped in the last couple of months.
Now they must face a Nottingham Forest side who are in a similar situation and will look at this game as winnable. Forest are 17th in the league and also have 26 points.
Over the last month Forest have had a couple of good away wins against West Ham and Brentford. It is important to get points of the teams around you when you are near the bottom and so they will want at least a draw here.
Expect both teams to get a goal as neither has the greatest defence but as both teams match up well a share of the spoils is likely.
Tip 2: Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score
Calvert-Lewin has had a good season for Leeds in his first year for the team. The former Everton centre forward has scored nine times in the league this season and should get opportunities against Nottingham Forest.
He has been quiet over the last few games, but Forest have conceded 35 goals this season. This puts them in the bottom half of the league. When Calvert-Lewin plays against some of the poorer sides he tends to score.
Expect Calvert-Lewin to get some chances in this game and get his name back on the score sheet.
Tip 3: Morgan Gibbs-White 1+ shot on target, Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card, Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score
Morgan Gibbs-White is vital to Nottingham Forest’s attack and has had more shots than any of their other players. With 48 shots he has had 15 that have hit the target and an over 30% strike rate is decent.
Ethan Ampadu has been an ever present in the Leeds team this season. He has started in 21 of their 24 league games. He does love a tackle as well and has committed 27 fouls in them games. He has already been booked seven times, and another one could be seen here against Forest’s tricky attackers.
Finally add Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime. He has scored nine goals already this season and faces a Leeds defence that have conceded 42 times. Only the bottom three teams and Bournemouth have conceded more. Calvert-Lewin should get chances in this game.
