Nottingham Forest lock horns with Leeds United on matchday 11 of the Premier League this Sunday. Both sides are currently languishing in the bottom half of the points table, making this clash at the City Ground a crucial encounter for their survival hopes.
Sean Dyche’s Forest drew goalless against Sturm Graz in the UEFA Europa League in midweek, just days after a thrilling 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend. The Tricky Trees came from behind to take the lead six minutes into the second half before Amad Diallo snatched a late equaliser for the visitors. This stalemate snapped a four-game losing streak for Forest, who find themselves in deep trouble in the relegation zone, sitting 19th with just six points from 10 games, having won only once.
Meanwhile, Daniel Farke’s Leeds United are fresh off a harsh 3-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion in the league a week ago. A Danny Welbeck strike followed by a Diego Gomez second-half brace was enough to sink the Whites. Leeds currently occupy 16th place in the standings with 11 points from 10 outings, winning three matches so far this season.

### Match Prediction
Both sides have experienced forgettable starts to the season, especially Nottingham Forest, who sit just above rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers—the only winless team in the Premier League so far. The Tricky Trees do hold a slender head-to-head advantage over Leeds and have historically dominated this fixture at home, remaining unbeaten in 13 league games with six wins since a 2-0 loss back in November 1971.
Despite that, this game is tough to call given both teams’ current struggles. Factoring in Nottingham’s recent European exertions and their difficulties in front of goal—they are the lowest-scoring side in the league with just seven goals—Leeds might just edge out a rare road win.
**Prediction:** Nottingham Forest 0-1 Leeds United
