Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Main Match Info

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Moneyline Prediction

Forest have only one point from their first two league games, but their performances have deserved more. They generated around 0.9 xG in their 1-0 loss to Leeds before producing 2.0 xG in a 2-2 draw at Liverpool.

Tottenham’s start has been substantially worse. Spurs have lost both of their league matches without scoring, while conceding five goals.

There is also a significant H2H advantage for the Tricky Trees. They have won each of their last four Premier League meetings with Tottenham, including 3-0 victories both home and away last season. Spurs have repeatedly struggled with Forest’s physicality and transition game, so we expect the hosts to claim another victory.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Player Prop

Igor Jesus has started both Premier League matches and has already accumulated 0.9 xG from six shots despite failing to score. His rates of 2.8 shots, 0.93 shots on target, and 0.40 non-penalty xG per 90 are strong.

Tottenham’s aggressive setup under Roberto De Zerbi can leave opportunities when possession is lost. This suits Jesus, as Forest should be able to bypass the press and attack directly.

If the Tricky Trees play as expected, Jesus should remain their principal target between Tottenham’s centre-backs. After he produced six shots and 0.9 xG without scoring, his underlying numbers suggest that a breakthrough could be close.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Same Game Parlay

Nottingham to Win: Nottingham have won their previous four meetings with Spurs. The visitors have lost their opening two games, and their performances have been far from ideal. As a result, the hosts are likely to win.

Igor Jesus to Score: Despite failing to score so far, Igor Jesus has been heavily involved in the team’s attack. Against Tottenham’s weak defence, he is the main candidate to score.

Over 2.5 Goals: Four of the last five meetings between the clubs have produced three goals or more. Tottenham are likely to be aggressive under De Zerbi, while Nottingham have home advantage. Therefore, goals are expected in this fixture.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Nottingham Forest Team News 

Their performance against Liverpool is the strongest evidence that Forest are beginning to understand Glasner’s soccer. They had just 31% possession, yet generated 2.00 xG from 12 shots, compared with Liverpool’s 1.76 xG. The Tricky Trees did not try to dominate the ball; instead, they defended compactly and attacked quickly with direct passes.

The most important player remains Morgan Gibbs-White. He scored the penalty against Liverpool and created Dan Ndoye’s opener, giving him one goal and one assist in two Premier League matches.

Dan Ndoye also produced his best display of the new season at Anfield, scoring from a 0.38 xG.

Ibrahim Sangaré and Nicolò Savona are the two notable absentees ahead of the fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Spurs suffered another defeat in the second round. They had 57.5% possession, 17 shots, and 1.05 xG, compared with Newcastle’s 0.86 xG, yet lost 2-0. They also attempted 22 crosses, with just 0.34 xG generated from wide deliveries. The result has increased the pressure on Roberto De Zerbi.

Mateus Fernandes has been Tottenham’s most consistent player, helping the team retain possession under pressure. Rodrigo Bentancur has also offered control, while Sandro Tonali adds passing range from deeper positions. Savio scored and created another goal in the 5-1 Carabao Cup win after coming off the bench.

Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert remain long-term absentees. Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are also out.
