Nottingham vs Leeds form
The disastrous scenario for rookies like last season has not happened again, at least after nearly 1/3 of the way. While Sunderland is even sitting comfortably in the top 4, Leeds and Burnley are not experiencing the "red light".
However, the road to finding a ticket to stay in the league is still long and full of potential risks ahead. If Leeds or Burnley stumble in just 1 or 2 matches, they could be completely caught up by the opponents below and ready to be overtaken.
Before round 11, Leeds was ranked 16th with 11 points, 4 points more than the nearest position in the red light group. For their part, Nottingham ranked second to last and 5 points behind the opponent they have to face this weekend.
Winning is almost a must for the home team. Only with 3 full points can Sean Dyche and his team significantly narrow the gap with the safe zone, and at the same time open up the opportunity to escape the bottom of the table quagmire in the next round.
But poor form since the start of the season has become the biggest obstacle that has caused Nottingham to receive many skeptical eyes. Since defeating Brentford 3-1 in the opening match of the 2025/26 Premier League, the home team has gone through a series of 10 consecutive matches without a win in the domestic arena (D3, L7).
A 2-0 win over Porto in Sean Dyche's first game in charge was Forest's most significant achievement in over two months. Despite Leeds being a rookie, it won't be easy for the City Ground team to complete their task.
The away team has been feeling more worried after losing 3/4 of the recent rounds. In the last 2 away trips, coach Daniel Farke and his team have lost all, conceding 5 goals and not scoring any.
In terms of playing style, Leeds are not too bad. In many matches, the Yorkshire team even showed that they dominated their opponents in many important indicators. However, the ability to take advantage of weak opportunities and lack of concentration in sensitive stages caused the away team to lose many regrettable points.
In case of leaving Nottingham with a defeat, the pressure will be heavy on the shoulders of coach Farke and his students. Because then the distance between Leeds and the red light group will be significantly shortened. Fighting with all their might to at least restrain their opponents becomes the most reasonable scenario for the away team to aim for.
