Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Predictions & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 9, 2023

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest
English Premier League
Date: 11 March 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).

Tottenham got very unlucky to leave Molineux Stadium empty-handed last Saturday after missing numerous chances against Wolves, especially in the first half of the affair.

Spurs were punished for their misses as they suffered the second consecutive 1-0 defeat on the road, following the surprising FA Cup elimination at the hands of Championship side Sheffield United.

Spurs are still fourth in the Premier League table but now only three points ahead of Liverpool who have a match in hand.

This leaves them with no room for mistakes in the home clashes against bottom-half opposition and this is exactly the kind of game they are going to have this Saturday as Nottingham Forest come to visit the capital for the Matchday No 27 tie.

The visitors somehow found a way to avoid the home loss to direct rivals Everton in an exciting 2-2 stalemate last Sunday at The City Ground.

They are now four points adrift of the red zone. However, head coach Steve Cooper has plenty of reasons for worries after his squad shipped six goals in the last two outings against West Ham and Everton.

The Reds also have a poor road record with 1 win, 3 draws, and 8 defeats in 12 league matches away from home this season.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Head-to-head

• This will be the third head to head clash between Tottenham and Nottingham Forest this season. Spurs won the league tie 0-2 at The City Ground but the Reds got their revenge with a 2-0 victory in the third round of the League Cup in November last year.
• Tottenham have been much more successful overall historically with 43 wins, 16 draws, and 24 defeats in 83 encounters with the Reds.
• Only two of the previous eight head to head outings between these rivals saw three or more goals scored.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Nottingham Forest have been dreadful defensively in the last two games against direct relegation rivals West Ham and Everton. Tottenham will desperately want to boost up the confidence after the recent failures in the FA Cup and the Premier League.

We will back the hosts to win in -1.5 Asian Handicap at the 2.15 odds as well as Harry Kane to score anytime at the 1.72 odds.
