In a pivotal moment for their Premier League survival aspirations, Nottingham Forest achieved a crucial victory midweek. However, the road ahead presents a formidable challenge as they prepare to face Tottenham Hotspur, a team with its sights set on securing a Champions League spot.
Spurs go into this match as the unsurprising favourites at 4/11 with CopyBet while Forest are 6/1 to produce a shock to the hosts chance of a top four finish while a draw is 21/5.
Forest's recent struggle in the league saw them embroiled in a relegation battle, exacerbated by a points deduction that plunged them into the danger zone. The arrival of Fulham at the City Ground became a turning point, with Nuno Espirito Santo's squad quickly establishing a 3-0 lead, much to the delight of the home supporters. Despite Fulham's resurgence post-half-time, Forest clinched a 3-1 victory, igniting hopes of escaping relegation.
With critical matches against fellow strugglers Everton, Sheffield United, and Burnley on the horizon, Forest's confidence is buoyed. However, their immediate focus is on a daunting visit to Tottenham, where Ange Postecoglou's team has been formidable, losing only once in their last five outings.
Tottenham's ambition for Champions League football took a hit with a 1-1 draw against West Ham, yet their quest remains alive. As they aim for a trio of consecutive home victories, Nottingham Forest faces an uphill battle at Tottenham's fortress, setting the stage for an enthralling encounter in the Premier League.
