Nottingham Forest vs. Leeds United: Head-to-head record and past meetings before Premier League clash

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 89

Nottingham Forest wins: 33

Draws: 26

Leeds United wins: 30

Nottingham Forest boast a slight advantage in direct confrontations with Leeds United, winning 33 of their 88 meetings, moving three ahead of the Whites thanks to their 3-1 win in November 2025 at the City Ground.

Leeds had taken the lead in the 13th minute through Lukas Nmecha, but the forward's strike was cancelled out moments later by Ibrahim Sangare.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson would score in the second half to secure a crucial win in the battle to stay in the top flight.

The Reds' only loss in their past eight contests against Leeds came in April 2023, with Forest suffering a 2-1 defeat away from home in the Premier League despite Orel Mangala having given them a 12th-minute lead.

Peter Lorimer is this fixture's leading goalscorer having netted on 13 occasions for the Whites, while former Forest duo Garath McCleary and Dexter Blackstock are joint second alongside former Leeds player Eddie Gray with five goals.

The Garibaldi have emerged triumphant in their past four clashes at the City Ground against Leeds, losing just three games since the turn of the century on home turf.

The last four matches between the two at Elland Road have only resulted in one Leeds win, though they did avoid defeat in the other three fixtures.

Interestingly, Forest and Leeds have nearly identical goal tallies against each other, with the former scoring 123 goals compared to the latter's 121.
