Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 106

Nottingham Forest wins: 37

Draws: 35

Leeds United wins: 34

Nottingham Forest boast a slight advantage in direct confrontations with Leeds United, winning 37 of their 106 meetings, initially 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.

However, Leeds United got revenge in February 2026, recording a 3-1 win at Elland Road thanks to goals from Bogle, Okafor and Calvert-Lewin.

Prior to that defeat, the Reds' had lost just one of their past eight contests, coming 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.

In their most recent meeting in August 2026, Leeds picked up their first victory at the County Ground since 2017 when they beat Forest 1-0.

Anton Stach scored a late winner with a free kick for Daniel Farke's side, with the two teams set to rematch at the same ground just three days later in the second round of the EFL Cup.

The last five matches between the two at Elland Road have resulted in two Leeds wins and three draws.

Interestingly, Forest and Leeds have almost identical goal tallies against each other, with the former scoring 124 goals compared to the latter's 125.
