North London will be buzzing with nervous energy as Tottenham and Nottingham Forest clash in a potentially decisive English Premier League (EPL) relegation scrap on Sunday. This match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium between the 16th-placed ‘Lilywhites’ and the 17th-placed ‘Tricky Trees’ comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
Ahead of this round, Tottenham’s 30 points (W7, D9, L14) put them only one point above the relegation zone, the last spot occupied by West Ham currently. Forest have 29 points (W7, D8, L15) and are only marginally above West Ham because of goal difference.
Both teams have been struggling for results. Tottenham have yet to win in 2026 in the Premier League, while Forest have been winless since February. Teams from 15 to 18 are separated by just three points, which makes this clash the proverbial relegation six-pointer. Neither team can risk losing this pivotal game, but who has the edge?

Tottenham - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
Tottenham defeated Atletico Madrid 3-2 at home on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League, although they failed to advance. That came right after their battling to a 1-1 draw away at Liverpool last weekend in the Premier League, which lifted the mood of fans.
That draw came after a run of five consecutive losses, and the ‘Lilywhites’ are still without an EPL win in 2026 (D5, L7). Even their home form has been dire, as Tottenham have just two points from their last seven home league games (D2, L5).
Ten of Tottenham’s last 11 EPL games produced BTTS.
Forest defeated Midtjylland via penalties on Thursday to advance to the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. Their progress in Europe is little solace to their league difficulties, as they continue to hover around the relegation zone.
The ‘Tricky Trees’ drew 0-0 at home against Fulham last weekend in the league, which meant they had no wins in their last seven EPL matches (D4, L3). Their away form isn’t too bad, though, as Forest have won seven points in their last five away league games (W2, D1, L2).

Tottenham & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
There’s good news for Tottenham on the injury front, as Conor Gallagher, Destiny Udogie, and Lucas Bergvall were back on Wednesday. Cristian Romero was also back, but they are likely to be without Dominic Solanke and Joao Palhinha.
Spurs lined up in a 4-4-2 system against Liverpool, which worked well for them. That could see Richarlison and Mathys Tel partnered up front in the attacking third.
Richarlison is Tottenham’s highest scorer this season with 9 EPL goals.
Pereira made nine changes to his original line-up for the Europa League match and will recall all his big guns for this crucial game. Dilane Bakwa was injured on Thursday, while Forest will be without the long-term absentees Chris Wood, John Victor, and Willy Boly.
The visitors are likely to stick to their 4-2-3-1 formation that was usually their staple in the Premier League. Igor Jesus could be the lone striker with Morgan Gibbs-White playing right behind him. Gibbs-White has been Forest’s lone spark this season with eight goals and two assists in the Premier League.

Our Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Forest won the reverse fixture 3-0 and, in fact, have won all the recent three Premier League games against Tottenham. That’s bad news for Tottenham fans, as these sides are separated by just one point and are barely above the relegation zone. There’s every chance that the loser of this match is likely to end up in the bottom three after this round. That should keep both teams nervous and agile, which means goals are likely to flow.
Looking at how these two sides have been dishing out results, our Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest prediction is BTTS.
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Alternative Predictions
Draw
Which Tottenham will turn up here? Igor Tudor felt he turned the tide with a battling 1-1 draw against Liverpool and a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, but there’s little confidence in backing them on the win scale. Forest aren’t any better, and their win via penalties over Midtjylland in the midweek Europa League game follows the same script as their hosts'. They also have a new coach, Vitor Pereira, who’s working with a thin squad under high pressure. This weekend fixture may be one of those games where both teams cancel each other out and end up sharing the spoils.
