Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin – Anytime Goalscorer @ 7/4
- Morgan Gibbs-White – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 4/6

Leeds and Nottingham Forest meet in a major clash towards the bottom of the table on Friday.
The pair are level on 26 points apiece ahead of the clash, with the Whites occupying 16th place in the table and the Reds sitting in 17th. They are both six points clear of the relegation zone.
Bottom three West Ham, Burnley and Wolves are the odds-on favourites in the Premier League relegation odds market, while Leeds and Forest are at 5/1 and 6/1, respectively.
Daniel Farke’s men have enjoyed a strong spell of form as of late, having gone seven games unbeaten in the league between the start of December and the start of January (W2, D5).
Farke had been heavily favoured in the Premier League sack race odds market prior to this run.
However, a 4-0 defeat by Arsenal last time out has seen the German’s price cut down to 16/1.
Losing to Forest could put the 49-year-old back in the conversation to be dismissed, with former boss Marcelo Bielsa currently topping the next Leeds manager betting odds market.
As for the Reds, they have lost just one of their last five across all competitions (W2, D2, L1).
They were held to a 1-1 draw by out-of-form Crystal Palace at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon, following on from a 4-0 win over Ferencvaros and a 2-0 victory over Brentford.
Like Farke, Sean Dyche is priced at 16/1 in the latest Premier League sack race betting odds.
Defeat by Leeds will likely see the former Burnley and Everton boss’ price cut even further, with Steve Cooper leading as the favourite in the next Nottingham Forest manager odds market.
Forest can take some confidence from their last head-to-head meeting with the Whites though, as they secured a 3-1 win on home turf in the reverse fixture back in November.

Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Bet Builder Tips
1. Dominic Calvert-Lewin – Anytime Goalscorer
Calvert-Lewin leads Leeds’ attack and has scored nine league goals this season, underlining his reliability in front of goal.
He is the main target for deliveries into the box, especially with Leeds’ wing-backs pushing high.
Why: Proven league scoring output and central striker role make him Leeds’ top goal threat.
2. Morgan Gibbs-White – Over 0.5 Shots on Target
Gibbs-White has registered a shot on target in four of his last six league matches and remains Forest’s main attacking conduit.
He frequently finds himself on the end of moves rather than just starting them.
Why: Consistent recent shooting accuracy makes at least one effort on target likely.
3. Ethan Ampadu to be Shown a Card
Ampadu has picked up seven yellow cards this season and operates as Leeds’ primary ball-winner in midfield.
Stopping Forest’s counters often requires late challenges and tactical fouls.
Why: Defensive responsibility and disciplinary history point toward another booking.
4. Brenden Aaronson – Over 1.5 Shots
Aaronson plays high between the lines and is encouraged to drive at defenders and shoot when space opens.
He frequently arrives late into the box and looks to finish moves rather than recycle possession.
Why: High pressing role and attacking movement support multiple shot attempts.
5. Match Total – Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams prefer attacking transitions and commit numbers forward when space opens up.
That approach often leads to chances at both ends rather than controlled, low-risk play.
Why: Tempo and attacking intent suggest a match with three or more goals.
