Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Premier League Prediction Match Details
On Thursday, Tottenham will travel to face Nottingham Forest at City Ground Stadium for an exciting Boxing Day matchup. Can Forest continue their long-awaited dream of playing in European competitions next season against inconsistent Spurs?
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest has looked sharp this season under Nuno Espirito Santo’s management, and Forest fans are now dreaming of a European competition finish next season. Forest are currently on an incredible run of form, having won their last three consecutive matches and having enjoyed four victories in their last five matches. Recently, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men secured victories against Manchester United, Aston Villa, and the most recent being a 2-0 victory over Brentford last weekend. The positive results run has catapulted them into the Champions League qualification spots with 31 points.
Espírito Santo’s side has now seemed to have gained their form on their home soil, having won four of their last five home games. Their most recent home game saw Forest beat Aston Villa 2-1, and they will now hope to build on it against inconsistent Tottenham. Forest’s attacking frontline has been in good form, scoring at least a goal in each of their last five home games.
Tottenham Preview & Form
Ange Postecoglou’s side has continued to blow hot and cold this season, as Spurs have only recorded one win in the league since picking up a huge win against Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium in late November. Last weekend, Spurs were hammered 6-3 at home by table topper Liverpool to remain in the bottom half of the table and extend the gap between them and the top four to eight points before Christmas. Ange Postecoglou’s side has showcased a good attacking quality, having scored at least three goals in four of their last five games across all competitions, but their style of play has made their defense look terrible and vulnerable.
Their performances away from their home soil have been inconsistent, having only won twice in their last seven matches across all competitions. However, their recent 5-0 victory against rock-bottom Southampton in their last road game will provide them with confidence.
