Following their meeting in the Premier League over the weekend, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United are set to battle it out again this Tuesday, this time in the second round of the EFL Cup. The meeting between these two sides at City Ground has favored Leeds in the double chance market, as our prediction, given their impressive record in this fixture, winning their last two matches.
Oliver Glasner's tenure at Nottingham Forest got off to a disappointing note, with his side dropping three points in a 1-0 home defeat to Leeds United.
That marked their second defeat against Leeds United. Additionally, that was their third loss in four meetings.
The Tricky Trees are out to exact revenge and will hope the EFL Cup provides the perfect backdrop for a response. Last season, though, they were knocked out in the third round by Swansea.
Leeds United are high in spirits after kicking off the 2026-27 Premier League season in convincing fashion. Anton Stach's late goal saw the team secure a slender 1-0 away victory over Nottingham Forest.
The Whites will be out to make it two straight wins against this opponent this season. Having won three of their last four meetings in this fixture, momentum is firmly on their side.
Regarding their run in the EFL Cup last season, they were eliminated in this very round they find themselves in after a penalty shootout defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Leeds Prediction
Nottingham Forest are once again favorites to secure a win against Leeds United. However, their performance last time out with the same opponent depicted a team trying to adapt to Oliver Glasner's new tactical approach.
There's reason to believe they could once again struggle for favourable outcome with the visiting team, who have won their last two matches in this fixture, likely to cause another upset. That said, we expect Leeds to avoid defeat in this closely contested affair. Our Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United prediction: Draw or Leeds.
