The first match of Round 17 of the Premier League sees Nottingham Forest take on Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground. Spurs have been entertaining to watch this season under Ange Postecoglou, while Steve Cooper's Nottingham have the ability to beat most teams on their day, so this should be a decent match for the neutrals among us. Tottenham will be looking to keep pressure on the top four, while Forest are too close to the Relegation Zone for their liking. Before you bet on this game, do yourself a solid and check out the predictions below:
🏆 Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur
Nottingham Forest are just 5 points above the drop zone, and rumour has it that Steve Cooper is perilously close to losing his job. They have spent a lot of money in recent seasons, so their owners are rightfully unhappy about where they sit in the table. The midlands team are completely out of form, having picked up 1 win, 4 draws, and 5 losses from their previous 10 fixtures. In those matches, they have shipped 19 goals and scored 10.
Spurs' 4-1 win against Newcastle broke a run of four games without a win, and in their previous 10 matches, they have collected 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. A few weeks ago, they were sitting at the top of the table with quite a healthy lead, but now they are in 5th place, three points behind City in 4th. They have no problem scoring goals as they are averaging just over 2 goals per match this season.
A trip to the City Ground is never an easy feat, but I have got to back Spurs to come out on top here for several reasons - they have a better team, are in better form than Forest, and have no issue finding the back of the net. My prediction is Nottingham 1 Tottenham 3.
My Prediction: 🏆 Nottingham Forest 1 Tottenham Hotspur 3 ⚽

Nottingham vs Tottenham: Match Winner Odds
Given where both of these teams sit in the current EPL table, it should not come as much of a surprise to see that the bookmakers have Spurs as the favourites for this match. You can see some match-winner odds in the following table:
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nottingham | 4.30 | 4.30 | 4.33 | 3.80 | 3.40 |
| Draw | 3.95 | 3.95 | 4.00 | 3.50 | 3.60 |
| Tottenham | 1.69 | 1.69 | 1.70 | 1.65 | 1.72 |
Nottingham vs Tottenham: Both Teams To Score Odds
Tottenham are one of the top scorers in the league this season - only Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Manchester City have scored more than them. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, have found the back of the net 17 times in their 16 matches. However, both teams are not the best at defending, so the bookies are favouring BTTS in this clash:
| Yes/No | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1.56 | 1.56 | 1.57 | 1.58 | 1.57 |
| No | 2.28 | 2.28 | 2.30 | 2.15 | 2.25 |
Nottingham vs Tottenham: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
If you do not feel like backing either team to win and the odds for the BTTS market are not enticing enough for you, then maybe you just want to have the option of being able to cheer on every goal that is scored or every goal-saving tackle that is put in. With this market, if you opt for the Over 2.5 goal market, you need there to be at least 3 goals, while the Under 2.5 market requires there to be 2 goals or fewer.
| Under/Over | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 Goals | 1.58 | 1.58 | 1.61 | 1.57 | 1.61 |
| Under 2.5 Goals | 2.21 | 2.21 | 2.20 | 2.15 | 2.20 |
✔️ Nottingham vs Tottenham - Betting Tips
Now that you can see some quality odds that five top sports betting sites are offering for some of the most popular football markets, I am now going to provide you with some football betting tips for this Nottingham vs Tottenham match.
- Tip 1: Bet on Spurs to Win: Postecoglou has got Spurs playing some great football this season, but it has not quite translated into deserved points. However, their big win against Newcastle might just be the turning point that they were looking for. Forest, on the other hand, cannot buy a win at the moment. Tottenham did the double over Forest last season, and I expect them to win once again. Spreadex Sports are currently offering odds of 1.72 for Spurs to win.
- Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals: Tottenham and Forest have only kept two clean sheets in their previous 10 matches, so I am expecting both teams to find the back of the net at some point in this game. Since I believe that Spurs will win, I am pretty confident that there will be at least 3 goals scored in this match. If you agree, then William Hill are offering odds of 1.61 for this market.
- Tip 3: Son Heung-Min to Score: If you are the kind of bettor that likes to put money on a player to score, then I would recommend that you back Son to find the back of the net. The South Korean is the best player on their team, and he should relish playing against a Nottingham defense that has struggled to keep teams out this season. If you want to back Son to score, then Betiton currently have odds of 2.32 for him to score.
1️⃣ Nottingham Forest Update
Nottingham Forest have signed a lot of players in recent transfer windows, so they would expect to be higher in the table than they currently are. One draw and four defeats in their last five matches have seen them slip to 16th in the table, just 5 points above the relegation zone. They are definitely going to be one of the teams battling to stay up this season, and if they lose their next two to three matches, then I feel that Cooper will be fired.
They do have the quality in their ranks to beat the top teams in the league, especially at home - they showed this at the beginning of November when they dispatched Aston Villa at the City Ground. On average, they concede 1.75 goals per match, and this is going to lead to plenty of defeats in such a tough league.

While many teams are struggling when it comes to injury issues, Cooper has just the one player out injured, while two of his charges are also unavailable due to personal reasons. You can see the absentees for this match in the following table:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| Taiwo Awoniyi | Unknown |
| Scott McKenna | Personal Reasons |
| Joe Worrall | Personal Reasons |
2️⃣ Tottenham Update
In previous seasons, it is safe to say that Tottenham have been boring to watch, but the same cannot be said of them this time around. Their new head coach has got them playing an exciting brand of football, a brand that seems to forfeit defense for the sake of attacking play. They are currently in 5th place and are in the hunt for a top-four finish this season, which would ensure Champions League football next year.
While they are conceding too many goals, their fans will not care so long as they keep outscoring their opponents. They have many of their first team out injured at the moment, so they will only get better when their key players return from the treatment room.
| Last 5 Premier League Games | |

| Tottenham4 Newcastle1 | 10.12.23 |
| Tottenham1 West Ham2 | 07.12.23 |
| Man City3 Tottenham3 | 03.12.23 |
| Tottenham1 Aston Villa2 | 26.11.23 |
| Wolves2 | 11.11.23 |
As I said above, Spurs have had to cope with a vast number of injuries in recent weeks, which is obviously having a detrimental impact on their season. Below you can see all of their players that are currently on the treatment table:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| James Maddison | Ankle Injury |
| Rodrigo Bentancur | Ankle Injury |
| Eric Dier | Groin Injury |
| Ryan Sessegnon | Hamstring Strain |
| Manor Solomon | Meniscus Injury |
| Ivan Perisic | Cruciate Ligament Injury |
| Micky Van de Ven | Thigh Injury |
| Hugo Lloris | Groin Injury |
