Forest scored in the first half through Ryan Yates in the initial meeting between the sides at the King Power Stadium. Chris Wood went on to score a brace in the second half to confirm the victory and Forest can produce another strong first half performance against Leicester here.

Forest have scored 13 first half goals across their 17 games at the City Ground this season. Leicester should allow them chances here, the Foxes have conceded 42 goals across their 17 away games in the Premier League this season - more than any other side in the division. 

Forest have made a habit of scoring early as their first half record at home suggests. This game has even more riding on it with the other sides in the race for the Champions League all playing before Forest kick off.

Xabi Alonso has announced that he will be leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season which means that this is his last home game in charge. His side are likely to want to send off their record breaking manager with a solid performance against a Dortmund side that has struggled on the road all season.

Leverkusen have scored 34 goals across their 16 home games this season (2.1 per game). 18 of these goals have come in the first half (52%) which suggests that Leverkusen are a team that tend to start quite quickly with an even share of goals spread between the first half and second half of their games.

Leverkusen scored three goals in the first half in the initial meeting between the sides which was enough to secure a 3-2 victory. Dortmund have conceded 30 goals across their 16 away games this season (1.8 per game).

Barcelona’s scoring power is what is likely to secure them the La Liga title, adding to their Super Cup and Copa del Rey successes already this season - they defeated Real Madrid in both of the finals of those competitions, scoring a first half goal in both games.

These sides have faced off three times this season with Barcelona coming out on top on all three occasions, as well as scoring a first half goal in two of the three games. In total, Barcelona have scored 12 goals across these games and should be encouraged by the fact that Real Madrid are missing key personnel in their backline including Rudiger, Carvajal, Alaba and Militao.

Barcelona are far and away the top scorers in La Liga this season (91). Real Madrid have scored 22 fewer goals than Barcelona in La Liga this season which could prove decisive in deciding the outcome of the La Liga title. Real Madrid’s makeshift backline should struggle early on against the relentless attacking talent that Barcelona have, namely through Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski.
