Leeds take on the visitors Nottingham in the round 25 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, February 6th at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds finally managed to return from the Championship under Bielsa, but that stay did not last long. Their Premier League spell ended in 2023, after just a few seasons, and the club then made a fairly sensible move by appointing Farke. At his new post, he delivered his familiar result only on the second attempt, achieving promotion last spring. On the other hand, after coming back up, the team look reasonably competitive. They are still alive in the cup, where they beat Derby 3–1 away from home. Most importantly, in the Premier League they are collecting points with decent regularity, and wins are also appearing. However, they were held to a draw by Everton and lost outright to Arsenal. Still, recent performances suggest a solid baseline level, especially at home. Even in defeats, Leeds tend to stay competitive and avoid prolonged slumps.

Nottingham Forest are having a contradictory but demanding season. The Foresters resemble their opponents in many ways: a popular and historically successful club that spent a long time in the Championship. Unlike Leeds, however, their return led to steady progress rather than an immediate drop, and it once seemed possible that the 2024/2025 season could even end with Champions League qualification, but they ultimately finished seventh. On the one hand, that allowed them to play in the Europa League. They started poorly there, but eventually reached the playoffs. On the other hand, a sense of disappointment remained, leading to consecutive dismissals of Nuno Espírito Santo and Postecoglou. Now Dyche has to fight for survival in the Premier League as well, and it is no surprise that Forest exited the cup early, losing on penalties to Wrexham, as preserving energy for the league is the priority. In the league, though, recent rounds have been encouraging. They beat Brentford 2–0 and shared the points with Crystal Palace, showing improved stability. This run suggests they are gradually finding balance, even if consistency is still an issue.
In the last six head-to-head meetings, the Foresters have claimed four wins with just one defeat. The visitors are not widely trusted, but they are very solid. The bet is on Nottingham Forest not to lose away from home.
Prediction for the match: Nottingham to win.
