Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Preview & Prediction

Match preview

The Premier League is back in action this week with a new set of games, beginning on Tuesday at Elland Road when Nottingham Forest and Leeds United square off in a crucial contest.

The Whites are currently in the 17th position in the table, tied on points with Everton in 18th place, while Forest are in the 15th position, just one point ahead of their opponents in this match.

When Javi Gracia was named head coach of Leeds at the end of February, he would have been aware of the scale of the job he was taking on. After six games in charge, the Spaniard has a record of two victories, one draw, and three losses.

Forest has gone six games without losing against Leeds, a streak that dates back to August of last year. The Reds will be motivated to win Tuesday’s relegation six-pointer.
