Nottingham Forest vs Leicester City: prediction & betting odds May 11, 2025

The Matchday 36 Premier League clash between Nottingham Forest and Leicester will take place on May 11 at City Ground. Nottingham Forest vs. Leicester: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Nottingham Forest

The team has slipped to sixth place in the league standings, trailing the Champions League zone by two points. Nuno Espírito Santo's side has dropped three positions due to securing only one victory in their last five league matches, and that was against Tottenham (2-1). The club lost to Aston Villa (1-2), Everton (0-1), and Brentford (0-2), while drawing with Crystal Palace (1-1). Notably, in 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches, Nottingham Forest conceded first.

  • No more than three goals have been scored in Nottingham Forest's last six Premier League games.
  • The club has not lost the first half in 17 of their last 18 home matches in the Premier League (8 wins and 9 draws).
  • At least one team failed to score in Nottingham Forest's last six home league matches.

Predicted lineup for Nottingham Forest (4-4-2)

Matz Sels – Ola Aina, Murillo, Nikola Milenković, Neco Williams – Elliot Anderson, Morgan Gibbs-White, Nicolás Domínguez, Ibrahim Sangaré – Anthony Elanga, Chris Wood.

Leicester

The team finally secured a Premier League victory, albeit against Southampton, who are at the bottom of the standings (2-0). Ruud van Nistelrooy's side managed to end an 11-match winless streak in the league, during which they suffered 10 defeats and had one draw. Leicester remains in 19th place and cannot climb above 18th.

  • In their last 21 Premier League matches, the club has won only twice (2 draws and 17 losses).
  • At least one team failed to score in 11 of Leicester's last 12 league games.
  • Leicester has not won in their last six away Premier League matches (1 draw and 5 losses).

Predicted lineup for Leicester (4-5-1)

Jakub Stolarczyk – Wout Faes, James Justin, Luke Thomas, Conor Coady – Wilfred Ndidi, Jordan Ayew, Oliver Skipp, Bilal El Khannous, Kasey McAteer – Jamie Vardy.

Prediction for Nottingham Forest vs. Leicester

Only Nottingham Forest has motivation at the end of the season. The team couldn't handle the pressure of being among the Premier League leaders for a long time and slipped slightly in the standings. However, the hosts still have a good chance to finish in the Champions League zone: after this match, they will face an unmotivated West Ham. Therefore, Nuno Espírito Santo's side will aim to secure three points in this match.

Besides a Nottingham Forest victory, I expect the hosts to keep a clean sheet. The team has the fourth-best defense in the league with 42 goals conceded. It will be difficult for Leicester to score against Nottingham Forest, as Ruud van Nistelrooy's side has the 19th result in the Premier League in terms of goals scored – only 29. Additionally, Leicester has failed to score in 10 of their last 12 Premier League games.

My prediction – Nottingham Forest to win to nil
