Leeds vs Nottingham Forest bet builder tips and predictions for the Premier League clash on Friday 6th February at Elland Road.
Both these sides are locked on 26 points going into the weekend fixtures, six points ahead of West Ham in 18th. You would think a win for either side here gives them enough breathing space to avoid relegation, leaving the other team looking over their shoulder.
Leeds’ 4-0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend was only their second loss in 11 Premier League matches, but they have only won three times in that run, drawing six.
Forest are in slightly better form of late, winning two and drawing two of their last four matches, but before that they had lost four on the bounce. Away wins at Brentford and West Ham saw them put some breathing space between themselves and The Hammers in the relegation zone.
Our football expert Andy Clark has picked out four best bets for a Leeds vs Forest bet builder, and you can see the reasons below.

Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Bet Builder Tip
- Leeds to win
- Ethan Ampadu to make over 1.5 fouls
- Elliot Anderson to win over 1.5 fouls
- Morgan Gibbs-White to have over 0.5 shots on target
Leeds to win
Leeds can take a giant step towards safety with a win at Elland Road on Friday night, and I’m happy to back them to win this one. The home fans will create a fantastic atmosphere, and these are exactly the types of games that Leeds thrive on. Before their loss to leaders Arsenal, they beat Fulham 1-0, Crystal Palace 4-1 and Chelsea 3-1 on home soil, as well as creditable draws at home to Manchester United (1-1) and Liverpool (3-3).
Expect a rendition of “I Predict A Riot” at full-time on Friday.
Ethan Ampadu to Commit Over 1.5 Fouls
Ampadu has been one of Leeds’ best performers this season, and it was a toss-up between betting on him in the fouls market to get a card or make tackles. He made two fouls against Arsenal last weekend and four in the thrilling 4-3 loss to Newcastle recently, as well as one in the 1-1 away draw at Everton. This bet would have landed in half of Leeds’ Premier League matches so far this season, and in a match where he will be up against the impressive Elliot Anderson (who has drawn 10 fouls in his last three matches), this looks like a good bet.
Elliot Anderson to Win over 1.5 Fouls
Backing up the stats from the Ampadu bet, Anderson is almost always on the receiving end of fouls, no matter the opposition. In his last seven matches, he has drawn 3, 2, 5, 0, 2, 2, 2 fouls. Looking further back into this season, he has notched up six fouls against when playing Wolves and five fouls against on three occasions. This is quite a specialised betting market, so not many bookies will have a price, but you can use the bet365 bonus code to bet on this one.
Morgan Gibbs-White to have over 0.5 Shots on Target
Gibbs-White has been the player most likely to drag Nottingham Forest out of the relegation fight in recent weeks. He has scored three times in his last five Premier League matches and you have to fancy him to get a shot on target at Elland Road. He is also the set piece taker, so free kicks and penalties gives us the extra chances of a shot on target here and he looks a decent bet to complete the bet builder on Friday night.
