Nottingham Form

This Sunday, 9 November 2025, all eyes will be on the City Ground as Nottingham Forest host Leeds United in what promises to be a tense Premier League clash kicking off at 14:00 (UK time).
Both sides are desperate for consistency, and our Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United prediction is shaping up to be a tight one. Forest are looking to end their nine-game winless run under new boss Sean Dyche, while Leeds travel with something to prove after a tough defeat to Brighton.
Let’s break down all the key talking points, lineups, team news, and tips before this weekend’s big match.
Nottingham Forest come into this game after an encouraging 2-2 draw with Manchester United. Forest showed real attacking intent in that one, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolò Savona both finding the net. Dyche will be encouraged by the team’s response but knows defensive stability remains an issue — Forest have conceded in five of their last six matches.
The injury list hasn’t helped either. Chris Wood joins Oleksandr Zinchenko, Angus Gunn, and Dilane Bakwa on the sidelines, while Douglas Luiz remains a doubt. Still, with Dyche settling in and morale improving, the Reds will see this as a chance to grab all three points in front of their home fans.
Leeds United, managed by Daniel Farke, are also looking for a rebound after a 3-0 defeat to Brighton. The Whites were caught out defensively, but their attacking play still carries a threat, especially with Brenden Aaronson and Noah Okafor in form.
Wilfried Gnonto and Harry Gray remain out injured, while Jayden Bogle and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will face late fitness tests. The return of Daniel James, who is now fully fit, could give Leeds some much-needed pace on the flanks.
Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1):
Sels; Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Anderson, Ndoye; Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Luiz (if fit); Jesus.
Leeds United (4-3-3):
Perri; Bogle, Bijol, Rodon, Gudmundsson; Tanaka, Ampadu, Longstaff; Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor.
Here’s where things get interesting. Both teams have been leaky at the back, and with attacking quality on both sides, there’s every chance this could be an open game.
Let’s be honest — this one feels like a classic Premier League scrap. Forest are improving under Sean Dyche but still need time to click fully. Leeds, meanwhile, have enough attacking power to cause problems but lack consistency.
Expect Forest to start strong, using their home advantage, while Leeds will rely on quick transitions through Aaronson and Okafor. In the end, though, both sides might just cancel each other out.
Match Prediction: Draw. Bet with bet365.
If you’re looking for a more specific angle, a 1-1 draw feels the most balanced outcome. Forest’s improved fight under Dyche should help them avoid defeat, but Leeds’ attacking line-up is good enough to find a way through at least once.
Correct Score Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Leeds United. Bet with bet365.
Given how both teams have performed defensively, the Over 2.5 looks slightly more appealing this week.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
