LiontipsLeicester City vs Nottingham Forest. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (October 3, 2022).
Command Analysis
Leicester City are having a disaster of a season. Last year,the Foxes won the Community Shield match and reached the semifinals of the Conference League, but failed their Premier League campaign. In the summer, Leicester signed Wout Faes and Alex Smithies in order to strengthen the squad.
Something clearly went wrong though. The Foxes kicked off the new Premier League season with a draw against Brentford (2:2), but since then they couldn't earn a single point. Leicester sit bottom of the table, three points behind their current opponent. The team managed 10 goals in seven games, but conceded twice as much.
Today the hosts will be without Bertrand and Pereira.
Nottingham Forestenjoyed a great season and finally returned to the Premier League following their successful performance in the Championship playoffs. In the offseason, the club bought Taiwo Awoniyi, Neco Williams, and Moussa Niakhate.
The Tricky Trees started their Premier League campaign with a win over West Ham (1:0) and a draw against Everton (1:1). After that, they suffered four straight defeats, and currently their position is just a little better than Leicester's - with four points to their name, Nottingham Forest are 19th in the table. In the last game, Steve Cooper's men lost to Fulham (2:3).
Nakhate, Mangala, Richards, and McKenna are sidelined through injuries.
