Prior to this match, Leicester City had lost both of their league encounters with Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest and their visiting supporters will be hoping for a better outcome after being defeated in their most recent match by Fulham in Premier League action.
In that contest, Nottingham Forest had 40% of the ball and attempted 11 goals, scoring on three of them. Lewis O’Brien (77′) and Taiwo Awoniyi (11′) scored goals for Nottingham Forest. Six of Fulham’s 14 goal attempts were successful.

Goals have been scored as much as 23 times in the previous 6 games Nottingham Forest have played, giving each game a mean average of 3.83 goals, demonstrating their preference for successful contests.
15 of these goals have been scored by opposition teams. Putting aside previous outcomes, we must now wait and observe if the tendency will continue in this game. Prior to this encounter, Nottingham Forest had not lost to Leicester City when playing them away from home in league competition.
Leicester City vs Nottingham Forest – Betting Analysis
Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Leicester City, is unable to use Ricardo Pereira (Achilles tendon rupture), Caglar Söyüncü (bruised knee), or Ryan Bertrand (knee surgery).
Only one fitness issue needs to be addressed in a team that is otherwise healthy for Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper to be concerned about. Orel Mangala won’t be playing because of a muscle injury.
We believe Leicester City can and ought to take advantage of many scoring opportunities in this game. Although we do envision Nottingham Forest scoring here as well, they may have a difficult time scoring their own goal. At the conclusion of the game, Leicester City will likely have a 3-1 advantage.
