Two sides that are battling for survival in the English Premier League will meet in midweek when Nottingham Forest travel to Elland Road to take on Leeds United. The visitors are currently in 14th place in the league, with 27 points in 28 matches, just two points above the bottom three with Leeds in 16th and with one point less than their opponents. Forest put on a resilient performance in their last match but lost a lead and only drew 1-1 at home with Wolves. However, that shouldn’t detract from their poor overall record in recent weeks. Forest has not won any of their last seven league matches, including three draws and four losses. Their away form is appalling. They have the worst record in the Premier League with just six points from 13 games and only four goals scored with 32 conceded.  

Leeds United, meanwhile played well at times against leaders Arsenal but still lost the game 4-1. The defeat left them 16th in the Premier League standings, with 26 points after 28 matches, and are just one point above the drop zone and one point below their opponents. Leeds’ recent record is slightly better than their opponents, with two wins, one draw, and three losses, scoring eight but conceding 10 in that period. However, they have proven fairly difficult to overcome at home, holding the likes of West Ham, Brentford, and Brighton to draws in the last four weeks while also managing an important win over Southampton. Leeds will indefinitely play their attractive, high-energy-style football on their home patch, and they could create a fair few chances against a somewhat leaky defense.
