Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Spurs claimed a 4-1 win over Newcastle last time out.
• Forest have lost four of their last five games, drawing the other.
• Spurs did the league double over Forest last season.

Spurs looking to build on Newcastle win

Tottenham turned on the style last weekend as they ended a five-game winless run by seeing off top four rivals Newcastle 4-1 in North London.

Spurs will be looking to back that up with another three points at Nottingham Forest, who ended a four-game losing run of their own with a point at Wolves last time out.

City Ground no longer a stronghold for Forest

Forest ended last season with a three-game winning run at the City Ground and avoided defeat in their opening five home Premier League games (W2, D3) but they have started to look vulnerable recently.

The hosts have lost their last two at this venue and have just one win in their last 12 overall, and a resurgent Spurs side may be able to take advantage on Friday.

Tottenham were excellent against Newcastle and they were unlucky on a few occasions during their five game winless streak prior to that victory. If Ange Postecoglou’s men perform as they did at the weekend, they should be able to claim all three points against this out of sorts Forest side.

Both teams can score

Spurs have gone seven games without a clean sheet and Forest are generally good for a goal at home, having scored in six of their seven Premier League games at the City Ground – hitting 10 goals in total.

Taking that into account, backing Spurs to win and both teams to score appeals as our main bet and a 3-1 win for the visitors looks a reasonable correct score prediction. Spurs have scored eight goals across their last three games and can hit three against a Forest side who have shipped 13 across their last five.

Son Heung-min produced an excellent display against Newcastle with a goal and two assists. The South Korean is enjoying an impressive season in general with 10 goals in 16 league games and he will be on spot kick duties, so he looks the best candidate for an anytime goal.
