Leeds United v Nottingham Forest prediction - from the man who gave you a 13/2 winner last week

After last weekend's flying start, Leeds run out in front of the Elland Road faithful for the first time this season in a mouth-watering clash.

And if you're having a punt, have a quick read of our   Pools punting preview.

We've asked our squad of first team writers, the men and women who know their teams best, to give us an insight into what we should be looking out for this weekend.

Joe Mewis  , the man who called last week's gives his rundown on the first match of the day.

Win, lose or draw?

Win. Last weekend saw Leeds United get off to a fantastic start at Bristol City, with Marcelo Bielsa's side dominating one of the Championship's play-off hopefuls. Forest arrive at what will be a loud Elland Road on the back of a turbulent summer and a sold out crowd will be expecting Leeds to pick up where they left off last weekend.  A home win is 8/15 with the pools.com

Who's a good bet for first scorer?

Last week I correctly opted for Pablo Hernandez and while it would be easy to select the Spaniard every week given just how important he is for Leeds, this weekend I'll go for Mateusz Klich who went close on a number of occasions from midfield at Ashton Gate. He's 7/1 with thepools.com to go one better.


Who's on the naughty step? (first card)


Gaetano Berardi is back from suspension, but is unlikely to get his place back after Ben White's impressive debut, so I'll go for Adam Forshaw, who will be in the thick of it in midfield.  

Who's on pens?

Hernandez scored his last spot-kick in pre-season and given Leeds' dodgy record from the spot last season, he could well be the man to step up this term.  His odds have been shaved for first scorer since last week but he's still 5/1 with thepools.com.

Will Leeds keep a clean sheet?

Yes. With Forest still looking to find their feet this season, Leeds can take full advantage. Both Teams To Score 'No' is 5/6
