These two sides last met in the Premier League on Aug 22, when Nottingham Forest lost 0-1 at home to Leeds United. But this time may be different, as the hosts have won their last two friendlies (2-1 vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen and 2-0 vs Brest), while Leeds United also won 4-0 against FC Augsburg in a friendly on Aug 15. In this match, Nottingham Forest are at home and have a stronger squad, so they should control the game a bit more (game control value 57) and finish with a 2-1 scoreline. The decisive moment is likely to come between the 76th and 90th minutes, which is when the hosts score the most, with 22% of all their goals. Meanwhile, Leeds United concede 36% of their total goals in that same period.
