Leicester City vs Nottingham Forest: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Leicester City Preview & Form
Leicester City enters into their Midlands derby clash in good mood, having secured their first successive two-match winning streak in the league. The Foxes started their campaign with a slow start after failing to win any of their opening six league matches as they begin to make some progress under manager Steve Cooper. They ended their opening six-game unbeaten run with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth at home and then followed it up by coming from two goals down to claim all three points with an impressive 3-2 win over Southampton on the road. The winning streak has moved the Foxes 14th in the league table with nine points from eight games, having secured two wins, three draws, and three losses.
The Foxes have been in mixed form when playing on their home soil, as they have managed to win only one game, draw two, and lose once. However, the Leicester City frontline have been consistent, having scored at least a goal in each of their home league games this season.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest enters matchday nine with a mixed run of form in the league, having only lost one of their eight league matches. Forest are currently in a decent run of form as they salvaged out a point in their clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and then followed it with a narrow 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on their home soil on Monday night this week. The form has pushed Forest eight in the league table with 13 points, having secured three wins, four draws, and one loss.
Forest have an impressive unbeaten form in their away games, and this should boost their confidence against the Foxes. Nuno Santo’s men in the new campaign managed to secure wins against Southampton and Liverpool and then followed it up with two draws against Brighton and Chelsea. Forest are also 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.
