Tottenham were held to a draw in their midweek London derby with West Ham following a fairly boring performance from Ange’s boys. However, they are still firmly in the race for the all-important final Champions League place and they will be hoping to capitalise on the results around them.
Nottingham Forest’s midweek victory gave their hopes of escaping relegation a huge boost, putting an end to a six-game streak without a win across all competitions. It seemed that their four-point deduction was a death sentence but they’re certainly not going down without a fight.
Will Forest be able to cause another upset for Spurs’ hunt for top four?

⚽️ Goals stats: Spurs matches ooze goals
Tottenham games always present good value for goals considering Postecoglou’s heavy attacking play style, which often results in goals at both ends.
Spurs are showing great strength at home, winning four of their last five and netting at least twice in all of those victories. Recently these goals have come towards the final moments of the match which shows you should never count the Spurs attack out before the final whistle.
But there’s certainly defensive concerns for the North London side. Both teams have scored in seven of their last nine games and over 2.5 goals have also landed in eight of those same nine matches.
Looking at the season as a whole, both teams have scored in 77% of Spurs’ Premier League outings, with 3+ goals being witnessed in 80% – some serious goal scoring numbers.
Nottingham Forest have also found some scoring form as of late, netting in all of their last three games. Nuno’s boys netted three times in a league fixture for the first time since gameweek 19 during their midweek victory and this will certainly give these players the belief to try and get a result here.
Forest should be able to exploit a leaky Spurs defence who have only one clean sheet in 11 league games.
Predictions:
⚽ Both teams to score @ 1.57
⚽ Over 2.5 goals @ 1.36
🎯 Shooting stats: Forest duo decent value
Chris Wood has been enduring another decent spell in front of goal this season, bringing his tally up to 11 Premier League goals in this campaign and he can certainly look to exploit the Spurs backline on Sunday.
Wood has scored in three consecutive matches for Forest and looks a real threat. He is averaging a respectable 2.07 shots on goal per 90 with 1.26 of those hitting the target. He has hit the target in seven of his last eight games for Forest and is very accurate in testing the goalie when he gets the chance.
His goal scoring streak may end up coming to an end in this tough away clash but his price for a shot on target, considering his purple patch of form, is definitely packed with value.
Another Forest asset that is showing consistent attacking threat as of late is Callum Hudson Odoi, who also managed to get on the scoresheet midweek. The Englishman has been electric down the flanks and has proved a great outlet for Forest’s attacking play.
Hudson Odoi has had 2 shots on goal in each of his last two games, with all of them hitting the target. He is averaging 1.45 shots on goal per 90 so far this season so the price for him to have just a shot in this one looks valuable.
He is certainly finding some form so it would be tempting to back his price to have a shot on target in those higher odds bet builders.
🔄️⚽ Chris Wood to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.83
🔄️⚽ Callum Hudson Odoi to have 1+ shots @ 1.36
🚩 Corner stats: Set piece galore
Both teams are showing the love for racking up the set pieces this season and boast some strong corner numbers as of late.
Spurs’ home games this season are averaging an impressive 11.87 corners a game, which is complimented very well with Forest’s away game average of 10.80 corners.
Spurs have witnessed 9+ corners in eight consecutive matches in the Premier League with three of their last four home matches actually witnessing a minimum of 12 corners – 12 (v Aston Villa), 14 (v Wolves) and 15 ( v Brighton) – on all of these occasions Spurs took the most corners in quite a dominant fashion.
Nottingham Forest have also witnessed 9+ corners in six consecutive top flight matches. This total is also matched in all of their last six matches away from home, in which Forest have only won one corner match bet.
Considering both teams’ love to attack down the flanks we expect the corners to flood in again on Sunday.
⚽ Over 8.5 total corners @ 1.29
⚽ Over 9.5 total corners @ 1.50
⚽ Over 5.5 Spurs corners @ 1.40
⚽ Spurs corner match bet @ 1.20
🛑 Fouls stats: A strong midfield battle awaits
Two of the best candidates for fouls on Sunday will be going head to head in a hotly contested midfield clash.
Yves Bissouma has proved himself to be one of Spurs’ prolific hatchetmen this season, picking up eight yellows and two reds so far this campaign. Bissouma is averaging 1.47 fouls per 90 and his recent form is a testament to those figures.
Bissouma has made 1+ fouls in five consecutive matches and has made 2 fouls in each of his last two games. He has proved himself as a reliable selection for fouls this season and if Forest can maintain some periods of possession, or pull off their signature counter attacks, then we should expect Bissouma to be drawn in at least once.
Moving over to Forest’s midfield, Morgan Gibbs-White has been enjoying getting stuck in over recent weeks and has presented himself as a strong target for fouls.
Gibbs-White has made 2+ fouls in three consecutive matches, including making 4 fouls against Luton Town. This extends to him making at least one foul in eight of his last nine matches for Forest across all competitions.
Spurs have plenty of fouling targets like James Maddison and Yves Bissouma, who draw in 3.22 and 1.47 fouls per 90 respectively, and considering Gibbs-White strong workrates, he could certainly be pulled into making at least one foul and continue that miscellaneous streak.
Predictions:
🔄️⚽ Yves Bissouma to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.30
🔄️⚽ Morgan Gibbs-White to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.30
⚽ Morgan Gibbs-White to commit 2+ fouls @ 2.40
