Leicester City Have All Sorts of Issues Leicester beat Nottingham 4-0 in the first meeting between these two clubs on the Foxes’ home ground. They barely won the match on xG, 1. 3-1. 1, but superb finishing from the Foxes on shots from outside the box led to the rout. The underlying numbers from that match suggested a much closer fixture. Now, the Foxes are on the road, dealing with a ton of injuries and they aren’t in any real kind of form. Let’s start with the injuries.
Since returning from the break, the Foxes have lost all three of their league matches and were knocked out of the EFL Cup in the quarterfinals. Home losses to Fulham and Newcastle have distanced them further from the top half of the table and inched them closer to the relegation picture. The market has moved solidly toward Forest in this match, who were as high as +215 on the three-way moneyline 10 days ago.
Nottingham Forest - Leicester City h2h - Livescore Leicester City - 102 points, 31 winning matches, 9 draws, 6 defeats. Total score is 83 goals with 43 goals missed. Nottingham Forest - 65 total points,
James Maddison and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are key losses in the midfield for Leicester, while Jonny Evans and James Justin remain out in defense. Maddison was getting 3. 2 shots per 90 this season, which is the best amongst all regular starters for the Foxes. Boubakary Soumaré was one of the top midfield choices since the season continued post-Christmas, but he’s out injured for this match too. Patson Daka has had a mediocre season and Jamie Vardy is clearly in decline now, so the Foxes badly needed Maddison’s production from the attacking midfielder role. Without him, Youri Tielemans gets pushed further forward. He’s an excellent progressive passer but isn’t providing the extra shooting punch with his 1. 2 shots per match.
