Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United Prediction and Betting Tips | February 5th 2023

Nottingham Forest will host Leeds United at the City Ground on Sunday in another round of English Premier League football.

The home side endured a sluggish start to their league campaign but seem to have found their feet in the competition in recent weeks. They played out a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth in their last league outing and had looked set to head towards defeat before Sam Surridge came off the bench to score a late equalizer.

Forest sit 13th in the league table with 21 points from 20 games. They will be looking to bounce back from their cup disappointments and resume their quest for Premier League safety.

Leeds United, meanwhile, have struggled for form in the league of late and currently find themselves just outside the relegation zone with half the season now gone. They played out a goalless draw against Brentford in their last Premier League game but returned to winning ways in midweek with a 3-1 away win over Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup.
