Recent form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent form has been rather patchy, with the team struggling to find consistency. Despite their current 6th position in the league, Forest have won only one of their last six matches, suffering four defeats in the process. Their goal-scoring prowess has been lacking, managing just 0.67 goals per game in this period, while conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. The team's defensive vulnerability is highlighted by their failure to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. Interestingly, Forest have experienced a run of three consecutive defeats in their most recent Premier League fixtures, which may be cause for concern. However, their away victory against Tottenham Hotspur stands out as a positive result amidst this challenging spell. With 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Forest seem to be involved in relatively low-scoring affairs.

Leicester

Leicester City's recent form has been largely disappointing, with the Foxes currently languishing in 19th position in the Premier League. Their last six matches paint a grim picture, with only one win and one draw against four losses. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring a mere 0.67 goals per game whilst conceding an average of 1.83. Their sole victory in this run came in their most recent fixture, a 2-0 home win against Southampton, which also marked their only clean sheet in the last six games. Notably, Leicester have endured a three-match losing streak during this period, falling to Wolves, Liverpool, and Newcastle United in succession. The 3-0 defeats to both Wolves and Newcastle United stand out as particularly heavy losses, contributing significantly to their -7 goal difference over these six matches. Despite the overall poor form, there's a glimmer of hope with their latest win potentially signalling a turn in fortunes for the struggling side.

Recent home/away form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with a concerning trend emerging in their last three matches. The Reds have suffered a three-game losing streak at the City Ground, failing to score in each of these defeats. This dry spell is in stark contrast to their previous two home victories, where they impressively defeated both Manchester clubs by a narrow 1-0 margin. Forest's defence has been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets in their last six home games, but their attacking output has been lacklustre, managing just three goals in this period. All of Forest's recent home matches have been low-scoring affairs, with every game falling under the 2.5 goals mark. Despite their current 6th position in the league, Forest's home form suggests they are struggling to find the back of the net, which could be a concern for their fans as they approach the end of the season.

Leicester

Leicester City's away form has been abysmal, with the Foxes currently enduring a five-match losing streak on the road. Their sole point in the last six away fixtures came from a 2-2 draw against Brighton, which was also their highest-scoring away game in this period. Leicester have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, conceding an average of two goals per game whilst struggling to find the back of the net themselves, scoring just three times in six outings. Their defensive frailties are evident, with the team conceding in every match and shipping three goals in their most recent away defeat to Wolves. This poor run of form has contributed significantly to their precarious 19th position in the Premier League, leaving them in serious danger of relegation with just 21 points from 35 games.
