Leicester take on the visitors Nottingham in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, October 25th at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester quickly fell from their status as the surprise champions of England to a team that eventually lost its place in the Premier League. However, they didn’t linger in the Championship for long—they won first place there, though not without some challenges, especially towards the end of the season. Their coach, Enzo Maresca, managed this well and left for Chelsea in the summer. Maresca was replaced by Steve Cooper, who became known for his success at Nottingham Forest. For a while, the Welshman only found success in the League Cup (beating Walsall on penalties), while alternating between losses and draws in the Premier League. It wasn’t until October that they finally earned a win, beating Bournemouth. Against Southampton, after conceding twice in the first 30 minutes, Leicester came from behind to secure a comeback victory.

Nottingham Forest continues to hold its ground in the Premier League. The "Foresters" had been stuck in the Championship for a long time despite their historic successes. But in 2022, they made a sensational return to the Premier League. Even more impressively, Steve Cooper, who achieved this, managed to keep his heavily revamped squad in the top flight. However, their aggressive transfer activity caught up with them the following season, as they were docked points for violating financial regulations. Despite this challenge, they persevered under their new, more experienced manager, Nuno Espírito Santo, who arrived in the winter. The Portuguese coach steered them through the rough patch, and they started the new season on a long unbeaten run, which included a 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield. Fulham finally ended that streak, but Forest responded by drawing 1-1 with Chelsea. After the international break, they secured a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, thanks to a goal from Chris Wood.
In the last five meetings between the teams, Forest won three times, with Leicester claiming just one victory, which came last season when both sides exchanged wins. Leicester may be rated lower than their opponent, but they’ve been playing well overall. They should be able to secure at least a point at home—backing them to avoid defeat seems like a solid bet.
Prediction for the match: Leicester not to lose (1X).
