Predictions
Nottingham Forest Draw No Bet (+104)
Nottingham Forest`s improvement this season is notable, with manager Nuno Espirito Santo leading them from relegation contenders to potentially competing for a Champions League spot in 2024-25. Chris Wood, a striker from New Zealand, has scored 18 goals, his best in a Premier League season. Matz Sels, Nottingham Forest`s goalkeeper, leads the league with 13 clean sheets.
Sutton notes that betting on Nottingham Forest might seem risky given their recent away form. However, Tottenham`s recent Premier League form is also weak, and Nottingham Forest has significant motivation to win, aiming for a top-four finish.
Under 2.5 goals (+133)
A low-scoring game is expected. Nottingham Forest has a strong defense, and Tottenham`s attack has been inconsistent. Their previous encounter had only one goal. Betting on Under 2.5 goals offers good value.
Sutton also anticipates a tight game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Nottingham Forest has one of the best defenses in the league, conceding only 38 goals. Tottenham`s attack has struggled recently and might miss James Maddison due to injury.
