Tottenham

vs

Nottingham Forest

Preview

Tottenham (home)

• Tottenham have been in a downward spiral for months now, and Igor Tudor’s appointment as manager in February 2026 has seemingly done little to change that.
• The ex-Salernitana boss has packed his team deep and looked to organise a compact structure in all areas of the field, rather than attempting to impose a clear identity or style of play.
• The style of Tottenham Hotspur under Tudor’s stewardship is not particularly expansive, but rather a strict and disciplined brand of soccer focused on central solidity and game management.
• This approach has not necessarily been a success, and Spurs have lost four and drawn one of their five competitive matches since Tudor took charge.
• Spurs have won only two, drawn four and lost nine of their 15 home Premier League 2025/2026 games (W2, D4, L9), so it is difficult to recommend them as favourites for any game, including Sunday’s clash with Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest (away)

• Nottingham Forest’s 2025/2026 campaign has been defined by the lack of a clear tactical identity, with Vitor Pereira’s appointment in February 2026 bringing an attempt at greater coherence to a side that have flitted between defensive solidity and attacking adventurism in the course of one season.
• Forest have taken just one point from their last two matches, with a 0-1 defeat to Danish side FC Midtjylland in the Europa League followed by a 0-0 home draw against Fulham in the Premier League last weekend.
