- Nottm Forest is predicted to be a -1.5-goal home favorite against Leicester City.
- Nottingham has won each of its last seven EPL matches against promoted teams.
- My Nottm Forest vs. Leicester City prediction is the Leicester City spread.
Off a strong point as road underdogs, Nottingham Forest returns home to face Leicester City.ย
Forest captured a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on Monday, but still have only one win in their last five league matches. In better news, theyโre 5-0 SU against the bottom three this season.ย
Leicester captured a 2-0 win over Southampton on Matchday 35, their first win since January 26. Earlier this season, Leicester fell 3-1 at home to Nottingham Forest.ย

Leicester City vs Nottm Forest: Prediction
Based on the historical success of road underdogs in this spot, my Nottm Forest vs Leicester City prediction is the Leicester City Spread (+1.5, -130).ย
The advisement for this match is to wait as long as possible before betting Leicester City.ย
I only see money coming in on one side in this match. Thatโs Forest, which has posted a 13-2-1 (W-D-L) against teams currently 11th or worse, including 5-0 against the bottom three.ย
Despite that straight up success against the bottom three, Forest has struggled to cover the spread in those games. In all five, Forest won by multiple goals twice.ย
While one success came at Leicester earlier this season, metrics rated that scoreline lucky in favor of Forest.ย
Expected goals rated the match 1.7-0.8 with post-shot xG producing a 1.7-1.0 edge for Forest, per fbref.com.
Home field might help that margin, but history suggests Leicester are a good bet to cover the spread.ย
Since 2012, road underdogs of +1.5 are 44-15 ATS, assuming three factors:
- The favoriteโs previous game margin falls between +0 and +3
- The underdog lost the previous head-to-head meeting
- The game is played in August, December or May
In May alone, those dogs are 12-6 ATS.ย
Additionally, for all of Leicesterโs problems this season, theyโve performed decently against the spread on the road.ย
The Foxes own a 9-7-1 ATS record away from home this season. Plus, they covered this number on both expected goals and post-shot xG in their last two road matches.ย
As a result, itโs the visitors or nothing from an ATS standpoint on Sunday.
