Forest (home)
- Forest are still waiting for their first Premier League 2026/2027 home win, having played two home games with no wins, one draw and one loss.
- Forest are 13th with one point from two games while Spurs sit in 17th with zero points after one game in Premier League 2026/2027.
- Forest have two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five and are coming off back-to-back home defeats to Leeds after an impressive 2-2 draw at Liverpool.
- Forest are a more compact unit than that and Oliver Glasner has his players set up in a 3-4-2-1/3-4-3 system that is built around solid defending and counter-attacks.
Spurs (away)
- Spurs are seeking their first victory on the road after no wins and one game.
- Spurs are also in poor form with one win, three draws and a defeat from their last five and their 5-1 EFL Cup win over Charlton showed the potential and threat that this squad has when at their best.
- Spurs are still a work in progress as Roberto De Zerbi continues to mould the squad into a possession-heavy side that presses to get the ball back when they lose it.
Head-to-Head
- Forest have won four of the last five head-to-head matches.
- Forest have scored 0.00 goals and conceded 1.00 per home game in the Premier League 2026/2027.
Betting Insights
- Spurs are favourites for this game, at 2.48, but it is Forest that I am supporting in the draw no bet market at 2.74, as the draw is 3.35.
- Spurs have failed to win their last two away games against Forest and I think that the hosts can get the edge in this matchup, with under 2.5 goals looking a solid alternative bet at 1.8.
Prediction
This game looks very evenly matched on paper, but Forest 's recent head-to-head dominance and Spurs ' woeful away record suggest the hosts have a slight edge in this encounter.
