Nottingham Forest's recent form has been challenging, with only one draw in their last five matches. They've struggled to score, managing just two goals in that period, which suggests they might find it tough against Leeds. However, playing at home could provide a slight boost, and their midfield creativity, led by players like Hudson-Odoi and Gibbs-White, might create chances if they can find their rhythm early.

Leeds United have had mixed results, with a notable win against West Ham but also three losses in their last five games. Their ability to score, as seen against West Ham and Bournemouth, indicates they could pose a threat to Forest's defence. The match might hinge on Leeds' ability to capitalise on Forest's defensive vulnerabilities while maintaining a solid backline themselves.
