This game will take place on 26/12/2024 at City Ground. Kick off will be at 10:00 EST.

What has been a fantastic season for Nottingham Forest continued last time out, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s men delivering yet another polished performance, beating Brentford by two goals to nil on the road.

For the third Premier League game on the spin, the Tricky Trees picked up maximum points, scoring multiple goals for the third game in a row too. Such a run means that they head into Christmas sitting in a very lofty fourth position, just two points behind Arsenal in third.

In contrast, on Sunday, there wasn’t much Christmas joy being spread by the Tottenham boys, who once again failed to deliver the goods defensively, so much so that they surrendered a rather embarrassing six goals, losing on home soil to league leaders Liverpool.

Offensively, Ange Postecoglou’s men can’t really be questioned, scoring multiple goals in each of their last four domestic games, but at the back, it’s been a horror show. Or a comedy, depending on your viewpoint.

Given what we’ve seen from the visitors in recent weeks, it’s hard to envisage them going to City Ground and being anything other than all too open.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham picks

From a value point of view, based on the early lines, one player prop appeals ahead of this EPL game.

Morgan Gibbs-White to Score

Nottingham Forest’s talisman Morgan Gibbs-White looks a little generously priced to find the back of the net against a Tottenham defense that has simply been all over the place in recent weeks.

Spurs’ defensive issues are plain to see. We’re talking about a team that concedes lots of chances and lots of goals, so don’t be surprised to see Forest do well offensively here. If that’s the case, Morgan-Gibbs White can feature heavily, and he’s worth betting on to score all the time odds of +330 are on offer.

Forest’s main man has scored only twice this season, but he has spent some time out with injury, so such a total is far from disappointing. In recent weeks, since regaining full fitness, the Englishman has looked very lively, scoring away at Old Trafford, while he’s been shooting regularly too.
