Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
Nottingham Forest are daring to dream of Europe and a festival atmosphere is expected at the City Ground on Boxing Day when they play host to Tottenham Hotspur. The Tricky Trees reached Christmas in fourth place in the Premier League, while the Lilywhites are 11th approaching the halfway mark of the campaign. Check out our match prediction below!
Forest dominated this fixture in the 90s, winning six of seven between 1993-1997, but since returning to the top flight, they have lost their last six league games against this opponent. Spurs have won their last three visits to the City Ground and also kept clean sheets in each of those games.
However, unlike in recent seasons, it is the hosts that are the form side at present, so much so that bookmakers have inserted them as the favourites on the pre-match betting odds. Can the Reds claim another big scalp in what is turning into a special season in the East Midlands?

Nottingham Forest - Tottenham: Form Analysis
It’s been an incredible few weeks for Nottingham Forest, capped off by a 2-0 victory over Brentford last weekend, which catapulted them into the Champions League qualification spots.
That result followed victories over Aston Villa and away to Manchester United, while the only defeats the Reds suffered in their last 10 league games were against Man City, Arsenal and Newcastle United.
Notably, the Tricky Trees have experienced a significant upturn in attacking output lately, scoring seven goals in their last three games - more than a third of their 23-goal tally for the season.
Forest have the league’s joint-second-best defence this season (19 goals conceded in 17 games)!
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur were involved in an action-packed match against Liverpool that delivered nine goals on Sunday, but unfortunately, they were on the receiving end of a 6-3 drubbing.
Matches involving Spurs have become goal-fests of late, with four of their last five across all competitions delivering five or more goals.
The issue for the Lilywhites, though, is that while they are more than capable of scoring against any team in the league, they are also susceptible to conceding in bulk. They have averaged over three goals conceded across their last five games.

Nottingham Forest & Tottenham Squad Analysis
Nuno Espirito Santo has two definite absentees for this match in Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo. Both players are back in training but still a few weeks away from making a full return to action.
Taiwo Awoniyi has now made three consecutive appearances off the bench since returning from injury but will likely have to register a few goals before he can dislodge Chris Wood in attack.
Dejan Kulusevski has scored in each of Spurs’ last five matches across all competitions!
As mentioned, attack has not been an issue for Ange Postecoglou, but defence has, with the likes of Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies all currently sidelined through injury.
Additionally, Fraser Forster has been far from impressive of late while deputising for the injured Guglielmo Vicario, but he will likely retain his spot given that young Brandon Austin has yet to make his first senior appearance.
Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore are the other players ruled out this week due to injuries, but Rodrigo Bentancur will be eligible to return having now served his suspension.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Prediction
Nottingham Forest will be beaming with confidence coming into this match, and they will certainly fancy their chances here given their newly found upturn in form in front of goal.
Spurs, on the other hand, are short-handed in defence, and given that they not expected to have any of their key backline players back this week, they will likely have to rely on outscoring their opponent if they are to win this contest. Therefore, our Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction is over 2.5.
