Nottingham Forest FC vs. Leeds United FC (Resolved)

Nottingham Forest host Leeds United in the Carabao Cup second round just three days after Leeds secured a 1-0 Premier League opener victory at the City Ground via Anton Stach’s late free-kick. Oliver Glasner’s Forest side, still adapting to a new system and manager, face rotation likely amid injuries to players including Ryan Yates and Nicolò Savona, while Leeds manage absences such as Wilfried Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson. Daniel Farke’s defensively organized team carries momentum from strong late-season form and summer reinforcements like James Trafford, though both clubs’ squad depth and the cup format support a tightly contested outcome. Trader pricing reflects this balance, with the draw edging out the sides amid uncertainty over lineups and motivation levels.
