The Nottingham Forest striker has done quite well this season, and he could punish the Leicester City defence here. The visitors have been quite vulnerable at the back, and they will struggle to contain the Nottingham Forest attacking unit. They have been quite impressive going forward this season, and Wood could make a big difference for his team. He will look to find the back of the net and add to his goal tally for the season. The striker is adept when it comes to bringing others into the play, and he will look to create opportunities for his teammates as well.
The home team are undoubtedly the favourites heading into this contest, and they should be able to grind out all three points here. Leicester City have been quite poor defensively, and they are likely to get punished on the road. Nottingham Forest have quality attackers at their disposal, and they are likely to grind out a comprehensive victory here.
