Forest
- Forest are unbeaten in five home matches in all competitions (W2, D3), conceding four goals.
- Forest have had a mixed run of form across their last 10 in all competitions, going 3-3-4.
- Oliver Glasner has been shuffling his pack to make his side more adaptable, mixing back-three and back-four looks and keeping his team compact and pragmatic.
Leeds
- The Whites are averaging 2.50 goals per away game and conceding 3.00 in all current competitions.
- Leeds are much more of an open shop.
- Daniel Farke has his team building up play in a controlled fashion, stretching the field with wing-backs and getting forward in numbers to play on the front foot.
- Leeds come into this on the back of their best run of the season so far with four wins in their last five.
- They should still be full of confidence, so Leeds will be the dangerous team on Saturday.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record favours Leeds 2-1 over the last three, including a 3-1 home Premier League 2025/2026 win, but home advantage has been important in this fixture for Forest.
Key Players
Igor Jesus has been Forest's spark of life, scoring two of his side's six goals across their last five matches.
Betting Insights
- Both teams to score - Yes at 1.7 looks a live line for this Premier League 2026/2027 clash and is certainly a play with the visitors averaging 2.50 goals scored per away and 3.00 goals conceded so far in all contests this season.
- Forest are favoured at 2.22, but Leeds are 3.1 for the win so the hosts are the slight favorites, which seems about right.
- However, the draw makes plenty of appeal at 3.35 in a game that could remain cagey if Forest are able to keep the game in the shape they like.
Prediction
Forest could have the edge in this one, but Leeds arrive in good form, so we feel the draw or a narrow home victory is the most likely outcome.
