Tottenham vs. Nottingham preview

Tottenham welcome Nottingham Forest to North London for Monday night's Premier League clash with both sides eager to bounce back from recent setbacks.

Spurs, still reeling from a 4-2 defeat at Wolves, will take comfort in their solid home form but face defensive concerns with Radu Dragusin sidelined through injury.

Forest arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in somewhat of a slump, having lost consecutive matches to Aston Villa and Everton after what had been a promising run.

History points to a cagey affair, with four of the last six meetings between these sides producing fewer than three goals, including Forest's 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture on Boxing Day when Anthony Elanga proved the difference-maker.

Son Heung-min's return to fitness provides a significant boost for Ange Postecoglou's men, while Forest striker Chris Wood will look to test a Spurs defense that has now conceded in six straight matches.

Recent head-to-head encounters favor the hosts with Tottenham winning four of the last six meetings, though Forest will draw confidence from having claimed victory when these teams last met in December.

Tottenham vs. Nottingham betting tips

Nottingham Forest to Win (13/5)

Nottingham @ Tottenham

Tottenham have shown a concerning pattern this season, losing all of their home meetings against the top six sides and every clash with the top four teams.

Nottingham Forest boast an impressive perfect record when traveling to face bottom 10 opposition, making them well-positioned to capitalize on Spurs' vulnerabilities.

The timing favors Forest as Tottenham appear to have little motivation left, with their season effectively over and European qualification hopes fading.

Forest have much more to play for as they battle to secure Premier League survival, giving them the hunger edge in this contest.

Recent form suggests Forest can exploit Tottenham's defensive fragilities, with Spurs consistently leaving themselves too open at the back in home fixtures.

Forest to Score 2+ Goals (7/4)

Nottingham @ Tottenham

The visitors have demonstrated remarkable attacking prowess against weaker opposition, scoring multiple goals in six of their seven wins at bottom half teams.

Tottenham's defensive structure has been problematic all season, particularly at home where they've consistently conceded quality chances.

Forest have the attacking threats to trouble Spurs, with players like Chris Wood finding form at the crucial end of the season.

Spurs' high defensive line and aggressive positioning often leaves them exposed to counter-attacks, which plays perfectly into Forest's game plan.

With Tottenham having little to fight for, their defensive concentration may waver, creating more scoring opportunities for the visiting side.

Nottingham Forest to Win 2-1 (10/1)

Nottingham @ Tottenham

Forest have developed a pattern of multi-goal performances against vulnerable opposition, making the 2-1 scoreline particularly appealing.

Tottenham rarely go down without finding the net, having scored in most of their home defeats this season.

The historical data shows that Spurs' home losses have typically been narrow defeats, with three previous 2-1 scorelines against them at home.

Forest's desperation for points in their relegation battle will drive them forward, but their defense remains imperfect enough to concede.

The odds offer substantial value for a scoreline that aligns perfectly with both teams' recent performance patterns.
