Nottingham Forest's Shaky Start to the Season

Tottenham's Troubled Start to the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur sits bottom of the Premier League 2026/27, having suffered two defeats. Losses to Brentford (3-0 away) and Newcastle (2-0 home) mean they have no points or goals.

Despite league struggles, Spurs showed offensive quality with a 5-1 League Cup 2026/27 victory over Charlton. This, and strong pre-season friendlies, suggests scoring potential. The Lilywhites’ squad is fully available, with no reported injuries.

Nottingham Forest vs. Tottenham Prediction: Forest to Avoid Defeat

Nottingham Forest have a strong recent record in this fixture, winning the last four Premier League meetings. Given both teams’ shaky starts, a cautious opening seems likely, making "Under 1.5 Goals" in the first half an interesting market.

Tottenham have looked poor so far, failing to score in their opening two league matches. Forest will see this as a big chance to get a result, and backing them on the "+0.5 Asian Handicap" could be a solid option.

Considering Forest’s dominance in recent head-to-heads and Spurs’ current struggles, the home side should be capable of avoiding defeat. Therefore, our main prediction is for a "Nottingham Forest or Draw" on the double chance market.
