Betting on Nottingham Forest
In the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, Nottingham Forest were fortunate to qualify for the next round via penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton in the opening 90 minutes. The scorer was Willy Boly in the 18th minute from a corner kick.
Forest are currently 15th in the Premier League standings: Steve Cooper’s team has won 4, drawn 5 and lost 9 times so far this season. In the last five rounds, the Reds have recorded two wins, two draws and one defeat, so they will come into the Nottingham Forest vs Leicester game with lots of motivation and with the goal of giving joy to their home crowd.
In their last league game against Southampton, Nottingham Forest came away with a big 1-0 win. The home side dominated the game in terms of possession, but Taiwo Awoniyi’s accuracy set the tone for the match and gave the visiting team the win. In the FA Cup, on the other hand, they lost 4-1 to Blackpool.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Dean Henderson, Serge Aurier, Joe Worrall, Willy Boly, Renan Lodi, Ryan Yates, Remo Freuler, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Brennan Johnson, Morgan Gibbs-White, Jesse Lingard.
Betting on Leicester City FC
Leicester is currently 13th in the Premier League standings. So far this season, Brendan Rodgers’ side have won five games, drawn two and lost 11.
In the last five rounds, the Foxes have managed to record just two wins and will surely come into the Nottingham Forest vs Leicester match looking to get the three points to move closer to Crystal Palace. In their most recent match against Newcastle in the EFL Cup, Leicester lost 2-0 on the road and thus were out of the tournament in the quarterfinals.
Possible Leicester lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward, Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas, Youri Tielemans, Boubakary Soumare, Dennis Praet, Ayoze Perez, Harvey Barnes, Jamie Vardy.
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account their last results, we believe that in this Nottingham Forest vs Leicester there will be a draw, as both teams are in similar situations.
Although Leicester is one of the teams with a good goal margin, they will face the hectic midweek pace that will also impact Nottingham. Due to tiredness, perhaps, and Nottingham’s home field advantage, it is likely that the points will be shared.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
