Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest: match statistics
Leeds United presents solid home form with a 42% win rate at their own stadium and a positive goal difference (+2) in home matches. The hosts record an average of 1.58 goals per match in home games, with an xG of 1.51, which evidences efficiency in attack. Nottingham Forest has poor results on away trips - only 33% wins and a negative goal difference (-6), with a very low scoring average (0.92 goals per away match) and as many as 42% of matches without a scored goal. Although the form of both teams in the last five matches is similar (Leeds 1.4 PPG, Forest 1.6 PPG), Leeds' advantage in playing at their own stadium and Forest's offensive problems away speak for the hosts. However, it should be noted that Leeds occupies 17th place in the table and has conceded a significant number of goals this season (42), which increases the probability of a draw or a surprise.
