Leicester vs Nottingham Prediction & Betting Tips (25 October)

Back in the Premier League this season, Leicester had a lot of difficulty launching this 2024/2025 financial year. Indeed, the promoted side did not win any of their first six league matches, 3 draws and 3 defeats. However, the Foxes have given themselves a lot of breathing space over the last two days. Victorious at home to Bournemouth before the international break 0-1, they then won at Southampton last weekend, recovering from a 2-goal deficit 2-3. These performances allow Leicester to move up to 14th in the Premier League with 6 points ahead of the first relegated team.

Threatened by a decline in two previous years, Nottingham Forest is showing real progress at the start of the season. Chris Wood's partners are currently 8th in the Premier League with 13 points taken in 8 games. Confidently, they have only conceded one setback since the start of the championship, for 3 wins and 4 draws. Beaten at home by Fulham at the end of September, Nottingham Forest then took a point at Chelsea 1-1 before taking over Crystal Palace last Monday 1-0.

Leicester must do without the striker absent since the start of the season Daka, the replacement midfielder Choodhury and the number 2 goalkeeper Stolarczyk, insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Loaned by Brighton this summer, the promising Argentine attacking midfielder Buonanotte (3 goals and 2 assists in the PL) quickly found his place in the starting 11. He should still support the stainless Vardy (3 goals in PL). These two players scored on the last day, as did Ghanaian international Jordan Ayew (1 goal in the PL). As for Nottingham Forest, important midfielders Danilo and Sangaré are still missing, injured.

Furthermore, incumbents Ward-Prowse and Gibbs-White have not finished serving their suspensions. Author of the winning goal against Crystal Palace, Chris Wood (5 goals in PL) should once again start on the attacking front. Recruited at a high price this summer, midfielder Anderson plays a major role in this team. Wingers Hudson-Odoi and Elanga are available.
