Home edge
Edge: Leeds
Leeds are the better side and at home, which our model values at a little over a fifth of a goal. The two advantages stack.
Goal expectancy
Edge: Even
At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (52% for the over).
Quality gap
Edge: Leeds

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Leeds United
Leeds are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball at Elland Road, but short of the creativity to dominate.
Away
Nottingham Forest
Forest are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball on their trip to Elland Road, but short of the creativity to dominate.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Leeds name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Forest score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
