Command Analysis
Nottingham Forest
EnglandNottingham Forest face Leicester for the 109th time in the history of the East Midlands derby - and for the first time since 1999, the teams will square off in the Premier League. Currently, the home team is in 15th place in the standings with 17 points from 18 games.
Despite losing to Blackpool in the FA Cup, the Tricky Trees are in good form - they have only one defeat in the previous five league games, and even got a draw against Chelsea (1:1).
Lingard, Niakhate, Biancone, Richards, Boly, and Kouyate are sidelined through injuries.
Leicester City
EnglandLeicester City had a horrible start to the season, and they struggled to find their form after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. They suffered three defeats in a row in the Premier League and got knocked out of the League Cup by Newcastle (0:2). A victory over Gillingham (1:0) in the FA Cup brought some consolation to the Foxes.
After 18 rounds of match, Leicester are in 13th place with 17 points from five wins and two draws. They can't boast of a reliable defensive line - the team allowed 31 goals in 18 games.
Soumare, Praet, Pereira, Maddison, Justin, Evans, Bertrand, and Dewsbury-Hall are all out injured.

Tip and bets
We expect the teams to be active on offense from the first minutes of the game - both really need to stay clear of the relegation zone and the derby is a perfect excuse to demonstrate what the teams are capable of. We believe there will be goals on both ends of the field.
Our prediction — both to score
It is hard to predict which team will get the upper hand as the opponents are more or less equal. The visitors haven't tied in a very long time, so a draw is likely.
