Jeff Stelling has pointed out Leeds United’s struggles with scoring in Premier League matches as a significant issue ahead of their upcoming game against Nottingham Forest.
After suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to Brighton in their last match, Leeds will be looking to bounce back when they face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 9th November. The loss to Brighton came after a promising 2-1 win against West Ham, raising hopes among fans of climbing up the table.
Daniel Farke will be eager to secure a positive result in the upcoming game, but will first need to address Leeds’ poor home form. Stelling predicts a 2-0 victory for Nottingham Forest in this fixture, which could see Leeds inch closer to the danger of relegation.
Leeds’ struggle to score away from home has been evident this season, with the team failing to find the net in four of their last five away matches in the Premier League. Despite a 3-1 win over Wolves being the only exception, Leeds have consistently faced challenges in converting chances into goals.
Stelling highlights Forest’s recent improvements under Sean Dyche and believes they have what it takes to secure a win against Leeds. With Forest currently 19th in the Premier League and showing positive signs in their recent performances, a victory over Leeds could spell trouble for the Whites in the relegation battle.
Leeds’ inability to create quality goalscoring opportunities has been a recurring issue, with their expected goals numbers reflecting the lack of attacking threat in recent games. If Leeds aim to overcome Forest in the upcoming match, they will need to step up their attacking game and create more scoring chances to secure a positive result.
