Nottingham Forest - Tottenham: Form Analysis
Forest continued their great run by resoundingly beating Grimsby Town 3-0 for the League Cup. In a game where Steve Cooper had the change to see some of his new signings in action and gain some sense over the immense wave of player arrivals in the past weeks, it was old boys Sam Surridge and Cafu that guided Forest towards an easy game. Overall, Forest might have lost their initial top-flight game, but they proceeded to beat West Ham and then clinch a draw against Everton. Their form is also impressive at the City Ground, where they have won five of their last six competitive games, keeping clean sheets in four of those. Tottenham continued their positive run in the league, taking a classic Conte-style 1-0 home victory against Wolves. They now have seven points from their first three league games, while they are also unbeaten in nine Premier League games on the spin. Spurs tend to perform admirably on the road as well, being unbeaten in their last eight, and keeping clean sheets in four of them. =12.0ptThey haven’t played against Forest in quite some time, yet won their last two away meetings against them, keeping a clean sheet in both.

Nottingham Forest & Tottenham Squad Analysis
With such a massive spending spree, it is only reasonably that Cooper has not found his optimal line-up yet. It looks like he is leaning towards a 3-4-1-2 system though, with Jesse Lingard supporting the attacking duo of Brennan Johnson and Taiwo Awoniyi, who have both scored the only goals of Forest in the league so far. Sam Surridge was impressive when called upon in the midweek League Cup game, and it would not be unreasonable if him or Dennis were utilised at some point in the game. Antonio Conte also prefers three at the back, and with Steven Perisic stealing the show in both their game against Chelsea and especially against Wolves, he is expected to start as a wing-back along with Emerson, and is worth a punt to record an assist in the form he is in. Harry Kane is in great form too having scored in his last two games, and together with Heung-Min Son, they are always worth a goal.
Nottingham Forest - Tottenham Key Points
Four of Forest’s last five games have featured Under 2.5 goals
Two of Tottenham’s last four games featured Under 1.5 goals
Tottenham have kept clean sheets in four of their last six games
Forest have kept clean sheets in four of their last six competitive home games
In what will surely be a tough contest for both, focusing on goals is the best avenue for profit. All of Forest’s first three games Premier League games have been tight, and it would not be unreasonable to expect a similar approach against such a tactically astute team as Conte’s Tottenham. Back the Under 2.5 goals in this fixture.
Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham - Other Interesting Predictions
Taiwo Awoniyi to score anytime
The newly arrived attacker has hit the ground running, scoring the winner against West Ham and putting on an impressive display against Everton. If he starts alongside fellow Nigerian teammate Emannuel Dennis, backing him to score at anytime in the game is a great alternative value pick.
