Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Match Prediction
Nottingham Forest will enter the contest with confidence after holding Liverpool to a 2-2 draw and will also have the advantage of playing at home. History further favours the hosts, with Forest winning their last four Premier League meetings against Tottenham, including a 3-0 victory in the most recent encounter in March. Spurs, meanwhile, have struggled badly in attack and have yet to score this season. We predict a 2-1 victory for Nottingham Forest, with Tottenham likely to face another difficult outing despite their major summer rebuild.
