Nottingham vs Tottenham: match preview
Nottingham have been extremely inconsistent throughout this season and have already changed two managers. First, the Forest dismissed Nuno Espírito Santo and appointed Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked just a month later. Sean Dyche then took over and delivered a fairly solid run of results with the team. After 15 rounds, Nottingham have collected 15 points and currently sit 17th in the table. They are two points clear of the relegation zone. In the previous Premier League round, Nottingham lost 0–3 to Everton, but in midweek they defeated Utrecht 2–1.
Tottenham sit higher in the Premier League standings, though still in the middle of the table. The league table is very tight, and after 15 matches Spurs have accumulated 22 points. They trail the fifth-placed side by three points and fourth place by four. In their two most recent matches, the team recorded victories: a 2–0 win over Brentford and a 3–0 triumph against Slavia Prague. However, prior to that they went five matches without a win. Results have been somewhat inconsistent, but given the congestion in the table, nothing is decided yet for Spurs.
Probable line-ups
- Nottingham: Sels; Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Jesus
- Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Gray; Kudus, Simons, Kolo Muani; Richarlison
Prediction
Tottenham may look like the favourites on paper, but they will certainly not have an easy task away at Nottingham. The Forest will put up a fight, and I am recommending a bet on both teams to score in this match.
