Leicester vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
The first Friday night match since opening week in the English Premier League will come from the King Power Stadium where Leicester City will be playing host to Nottingham Forest this week. The Foxes are in 14th place in the league standings, while the Reds are eighth. Check out our match prediction below.
Leicester have won their last two home matches in the Premier League against this opponent (1998 and 2022) with both of those games delivering a total of four goals each (3-1 and 4-0 respectively). However, the Tricky Trees came out on top in the most recent encounter between the sides 2-0 back in January 2023 on their home patch.
Given the positive start they have made to the season, Forest are the current bookmakers’ favourite, but not by much. Can the Foxes sneak another win after back-to-back victories? Let’s break down the key stats and try to find out!

Leicester - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
After failing to win any of their first six matches of the season (W0 D3 L3), Leicester City finally got into gear ahead of the international break.
They notched up a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth and followed up with a sensational come-from-behind 3-2 win over fellow newly-promoted Southampton in their last two games.
At home, the hosts have played three league games this term, splitting the results one win, one draw and one loss, though they have scored in each of those matches.
The Foxes are now aiming for a third straight Premier League win for the first time since January 2021!
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forst have been one of the most improved teams this season, and have only lost one of their eight matches to date (W3 D4 L1).
The Reds held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw and beat Crystal Palace 1-0 either side of the international break - but their headline result this term was that 1-0 victory over Liverpool last month.
Forest are unbeaten in their last six matches on the road in league games (W4 D2 L0), which is the club's second-longest away run without defeat in the top flight since 1995.

Leicester & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
Jannik Vestergaard missed last week’s trip to Southampton with an ankle injury and reports in the week indicate that he is set to undergo further scans to get to the bottom of the recurring issue.
Jakub Stolarczyk (foot) and Patson Daka (ankle) are both continuing their rehabilitation from the injuries they sustained over the summer and are yet to resume first-team training.
Hamza Choudhury’s shoulder does not need surgery, suggesting he could return in a few weeks!
Arguably the most noticeable absentee from the touchline for Forest this weekend will be Nuno Espirito Santo, who will be serving the second of his three-match suspension.
Returning from suspension for the Reds this week are James Ward-Prowse and Morgan Gibbs-White. However, the latter is flagged as a major doubt having picked up a knock against Chelsea last time out.
Ibrahim Sangare is out for at least two more months as he continues his recovery from hamstring surgery, while Danilo is still on crutches since his horror injury on opening day.

Our Leicester vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
After a slow start to the season, Leicester City seem to have found their rhythm and will enter this match brimming with confidence after that dramatic win against the Saints last week.
Forest, though, have been one of the surprise packages over the early part of this season and are still unbeaten on the road. While we fancy the visitors to get something from this match, we also feel that the hosts will make them work for it by scoring at least once. Our Leicester City vs Nottingham Forest prediction: Both teams to score!
