Leicester City v Nottingham Forest Odds & Match Preview

Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Friday 25th October 2024

On the back of their impressive fightback at the weekend, Leicester City will look to collect maximum points for a third successive time when they host local rivals Nottingham Forest at the King Power Stadium this evening.

Huge threat

After failing to win any of their opening six Premier League matches of the new campaign, Leicester City have taken the spoils in each of their last two, a 1-0 win at home to AFC Bournemouth before the international break being followed by a dramatic 3-2 victory away to Southampton last time out, Jordan Ayew scoring the winner deep into stoppage time. Indeed, Steve Cooper’s men have collected five points from losing positions and thus far they have scored in every league game this term, one of just three teams to do so (the others being Manchester City and Arsenal). As such they pose a huge threat to any opponent but they need to make a convincing start here, given that they have conceded the opening goal in all-but-two of their eight league games this term.

Excellent defensive record

Nottingham Forest head into this match with the second best defensive record in the Premier League this term, behind leaders Liverpool. The Tricky Trees allowed Crystal Palace no less than 20 attempts on Monday but the East Midlands side nevertheless managed to keep another clean sheet and posted their first league win at the City Ground this season. Forest have gone unbeaten in six away games in the Premier League and having got the better of Leicester in the last meeting between the two sides –  2-0 win in January 2023 – the visitors will be aiming to repeat that feat at the King Power Stadium tonight.

Signs of improvement

Forest have tightened things up at the back this season but their local rivals are showing genuine signs of improvement – especially in the final third – and we envisage the home side collecting a point in what looks set to be a goal-laden affair in the East Midlands.

Back a draw and both teams to score at best odds of 18/5
