Tottenham’s spot in the Premier League top four is coming under increasing pressure, and they could find themselves sitting fifth before kicking off against Nottingham Forest. A return to winning ways will be desperate needed by the hosts this weekend.
Premier League Preview
Tottenham’s advantage in the race for a Champions League finish this term has diminished to just three points over Liverpool, with the Reds also boasting a game in hand over their rivals in the league standings. Spurs have lost two of their previous four matches in the league, with the latest of those losses coming on the road against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
However, Spurs have been in reliable form at home in recent weeks, as they have picked up victories in each of their last three at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The most recent of those was a 2-0 win over Chelsea. Tottenham only had themselves to blame following their defeat against Wolves last weekend, as they missed a number of scoring opportunities before allowing the hosts to steal the win in the final half an hour.
Nottingham Forest’s best performances this term have come at the City Ground, but a collection of points in North London this weekend could ease any worries that they may get dragged back into the relegation scrap at the bottom of the league standings. Steve Cooper’s side comes into this fixture having failed to win in their previous four, with just two points being accumulated over that period.
Forest was held to a 2-2 draw by Everton in their most recent fixture, with a number of key refereeing decisions going against them at the City Ground. This will be a tough game on the road, and they will be hoping for a better performance than their 4-0 defeat against West Ham a few weeks ago.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest Head to Head
Spurs ran out 2-0 winners at the City Ground in the previous league meeting between the sides this term. However, Forest gained revenge with a 2-0 win of their own in the EFL Cup in November.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Forest’s away form is a huge concern ahead of this fixture, and it makes them pretty difficult to pick on Saturday. Therefore, we would expect Spurs to get back to winning ways against Cooper’s side, and we could see Harry Kane finding the net for Tottenham.
