Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Betting Tips
Spurs will score at least two goals
Tottenham have scored the fourth most goals (7) in the Premier League through three weeks, without a contribution yet from the reigning Golden Boot winner, Son Heung-min.
Harry Kane has already found the back of the net twice, while Dejan Kulusevski, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Ryan Sessegnon, and Eric Dier have scored one goal a piece. This talented group does not even account for Richarlison, their prize summer transfer from Everton.
Forest may put up a solid effort to quiet the Spurs attack, but it will be challenging to contain them fully.
Will Morgan Gibbs-White make an impact?
Forest have signed 11 players during the transfer window, including Jesse Lingard, Neco WIlliams, Taiwo Awoniyi, Emmanuel Dennis, and Orel Mangala. However, the most intriguing name might be midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, who Nottingham signed from Wolves for a club record £40 million fee.
The 22-year-old has registered just one goal and one assist in 48 EPL appearances over the previous four seasons. Gibbs-White spent last season on loan with Sheffield United in the EFL Championship, where he scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists in 37 outings.
Reunited with coach Steve Cooper, who worked with the midfielder at Swansea, there is hope at Nottingham that the Gibbs-White could bring a much-needed spark to the midfield. He will likely make his Forest debut on Sunday against Tottenham and could be a wild card that impacts the final score.
How strong is Nottingham’s home advantage?
Last season in the Championship, Nottingham Forest posted a 13-4-6 record at home with a +21 goal differential. This success will not translate directly to the Premier League, but Forest did secure a victory against West Ham in their only home match thus far.
Tottenham will likely control the play in this one, but the final score could be closer than many predict.
Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Prediction
Nottingham Forest 1-3 Tottenham
This score prediction may not give Forest enough credit, but based on the known information, it is difficult to deviate from a solid Spurs victory.
Tottenham will likely score at least two goals due to their impressive firepower, but will also probably concede a goal on the road.
Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Best Bets
➕ Tottenham Win by Multiple Correct Score 1:2, 1:3, or 1:4 (+333)
WAGER: 1 Unit
I believe the most likely score will be a 2-1 or 3-1 Spurs victory, making a “Multiple Correct Score” wager the wisest path to a decent profit in this match. You could also try to cover a clean sheet victory with a 0:1, 0:2, or 0:3 “Multiple Correct Score” wager, but at (+180), it would not pay enough to cover your combination bet, which would cost two units and only return a profit of 1.80 units.
