Nottingham Forest vs Leeds prediction, H2H and probable lineups - November 9, 2025
One of the fixtures of Premier League Matchday 11 will take place on Sunday at the City Ground in Nottingham, where the local side Nottingham Forest will host Leeds. We're offering a bet on the outcome of this clash with a solid chance for success.
Match preview
The hosts are still searching for a way out of their prolonged slump, and last week's draw with Manchester United was definitely a step forward. The team showed fighting spirit and came close to victory, but once again dropped points late on. Despite a nine-match winless streak in the Premier League, Forest are starting to show signs of improvement.
The main issue remains their finishing and inconsistency in attack — they've failed to score in six of their last eight games. Nevertheless, at home, Forest are capable of putting up a fight, especially given their recent positive trend. If they can avoid late-game collapses, three points are well within reach.
Leeds have once again found themselves dragged into a relegation scrap, despite occasional flashes of good football. The win over West Ham looked promising, but a subsequent 3-0 defeat to Brighton only reinforced a sense of instability. Their away form is particularly poor, with nine losses in their last ten matches on the road.
The team is struggling defensively and often loses its shape away from home. The attack isn't always able to make up for mistakes at the back. Under these circumstances, any point earned away is an achievement, and considering Forest's current form, Leeds are in for a tough challenge.
Probable lineups
- Nottingham Forest: Sels, Savona, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams, Luis, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Ndoye, Jesus
- Leeds: Perry, Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Gudmundsson, Bijol, Longstaff, Tanaka, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor
Match facts and head-to-head
- Nottingham Forest are winless in nine consecutive Premier League matches.
- Leeds have lost nine of their last ten away games in the Premier League.
- The last meeting between these sides at the City Ground ended in a Forest victory (1-0).
Prediction
Nottingham Forest have a real chance to grab all three points, especially against an opponent struggling away from home. Leeds have looked poor on their travels and are unlikely to suddenly turn things around. Our pick: "Nottingham Forest to win with a (0) handicap" at odds of 1.65.
