Leicester vs Nottingham Forest Tips

• Facundo Buonanotte To Score or Assist: 23/10 @ Paddy Power
• Facundo Buonanotte & Morgan Gibbs-White Over 0.5 Shots On Target Each: 12/5 @ Betway

Tip 1

The young Argentine showed plenty of promise in 27 appearances for Brighton last season, as well as having a positive influence for his loan club in this current campaign by contributing three goals and two assists in five starts.

He’s averaging an extremely healthy 0.98 G/A per game for the Foxes and has come up with a goal contribution in five of his seven league games for Steve Cooper’s side, including each of the last three against Arsenal, Bournemouth and Southampton.

Tip 2

Leicester’s flourishing loanee has scored in his last two matches, which counts the wonderful strike that initiated their comeback at St Mary’s.

The no.10 has had a SOT in each of his last three fixtures, meeting this line in four of his seven appearances for the PL outfit this term.

For the visitors, Morgan Gibbs-White will be reintroduced to the fold after serving a suspension during their win on the south coast.

MGW is second to only Chris Wood for shots on target between Forest and Leicester players this season with six, and has posted one on four of six 2024/25 league occasions – his last two just happen to be in games away from the City Ground as is the case in Friday’s head-to-head.

Leicester Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Foxes have put together consecutive wins after going the first six games without one, most recently overturning a two-goal deficit away to fellow promoted club Southampton – a result which has lifted them up to 14th in the table.

Steve Cooper could have a few potential changes to make for the visit of his former employers, but will still be without Patson Daka and Hamza Choudhury who both remain sidelined.

Leicester Predicted XI: Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Faes, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Winks; Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy.

Nottingham Forest Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Forest also enter this East Midlands derby off the back of a win, having edged out a winless Crystal Palace side at the City Ground in one of last Saturday’s 3pm Premier League games.

The Tricky Trees will be Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo due to long-term injuries, but can welcome back Morgan Gibbs-White and James Ward-Prowse from their individual bans.

Nottingham Forest Predicted XI: Sels; Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Moreno; Yates, Ward-Prowse; Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Elanga; Wood.
