Both teams are fighting for key points that could influence their final league standings and potential qualification or relegation battles.
Key Factors to Consider
- Nottingham Forest have shown steely home form this season, with consistent results and resilience. Leicester City, meanwhile, have struggled on the road and have displayed inconsistency in recent fixtures, undermining their ability to secure points away from home.

- Both teams have some injury concerns heading into the match, but Nottingham Forest appear to have fewer key player absences. Leicester City may be missing some pivotal squad members which could impact their attacking and defensive stability.
- Playing at home with strong fan support gives Nottingham Forest a psychological boost. Weather conditions and pitch quality at The City Ground are expected to be standard, posing no unusual challenges.
