Leeds vs Nottingham Prediction & Betting tips
Leeds United receives Nottingham Forest on Elland Road on Saturday at lunchtime. Leeds United started the season well with a 1-3 win visiting Bristol City. Nottingham Forest lost 1-2 of West Bromwich Albion in-house and starts looking for the first points. Time for a peek into the glass globe!
Leeds United:
Leeds United started the season well. In Bristol it was the rightful winner at Ashton Gate against City. It eventually became 1-3 and there was nothing to argue with that victory. The guests dominated large parts of the competition. Thanks to an excellent positional game, Bristol City was sent from time to time to the wall. The Spanish right winger Pablo Hernandez was elusive and it was no coincidence that after just half an hour of play he took care of the opening goal. After good preparatory work by Jack Harrison and Adam Forshaw, it was Hernandez who shot the toy with his left leg in the cross. When Hernandez after a break gave a great pass at number nine Patrick Bamford and the attacker cashed this present, the game was decided. Harrison’s 0-3 and 1-3 via a directional shot by Andreas Weimann were only important for the statistics.
Trainer Marcelo Bielsa was delighted afterwards with the victory: ‘We were quite dominant during the first 30 minutes of the first and second half. The last fifteen minutes of both halves we gave away too much space to the opponent. I know this will be a long season. We were mostly in the top regions of the ranking last season. The point is that we will still be here at the end of the season. “For the Nottingham Forest duel, it is expected that Bielsa will not change his formation too much.
Nottingham Forest:
For Nottingham Forest, the duel with West Bromwich Albion was on the program last weekend. Despite a good start, the game was eventually lost by 1-2, meaning that the French – Tunisian coach Sabri Lamouchi had to take a defeat immediately during his baptism of fire on City Ground. As mentioned, the start of the home team was promising. After a nice one-two between Albert Adomah and Matty Cash, the latter from the edge of the penalty area was ultimately the one who pulled the trigger. After this, WBA quickly put things in order. Still within half an hour the deficit was reversed by goals Kyle Edwards after an error by goalkeeper Arijanet Muric. A few minutes later, the final score was already determined by a goal from Matthew Phillips.
Sabir Lamouchi was disappointed afterwards: ‘We started the game well and made a great goal. In the next phase, we lost the ball too quickly, allowing us to enter the WBA in the game. At the 1-1 Muric unfortunately does not go free, but he can only learn from this. We must also learn to read a competition better. If you quickly prevent 1-0 you must ensure that your WBA is going to be challenged, so that there is more room for us. Now we were too sloppy in possession of the ball, so WBA was able to reverse the deficit. The match against Leeds United will become even harder and we will prepare very well for this in the coming week. ”
