📊 Match recap and data context

Nottingham Forest fell to Leeds 0-2 at the City Ground in the Carabao Cup. Our model backed Forest at 44% probability; the pick missed. Leeds controlled the match without reply, extending their recent head-to-head record to three wins in their last four meetings. Forest's recent form, which had included two wins in five games, proved insufficient against a visiting side that found clinical finishing when it mattered. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
