Supercomputer predicts outcome of Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham in Premier League
Tottenham are looking for three wins in a row under Thomas Frank when they travel to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Slavia Prague has given Frank some optimism ahead of a tough run of fixtures.
Frank had been under pressure after a dismal run of form in the Premier League, with losses suffered to Chelsea and Fulham significantly dampening the mood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Lilywhites are currently 11th in the Premier League, and Sunday’s meeting may represent their best chance of securing three points for the rest of 2025, with Liverpool and high-flying Crystal Palace still to come before the turn of the year.
Tottenham predicted as slight favourites to beat Nottingham Forest
Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Brentford last time out means they are looking to win consecutive league games for the first time since August.
MORE SPURS STORIES
However, despite losing six consecutive Premier League games against Spurs between 1998 and 2024, Forest did the league double against them last season.
According to Opta’s supercomputer, Tottenham are predicted to edge past Sunday’s opponents.
Only bottom side Wolves (nine) have failed to score in more different Premier League games than Nottingham Forest this season (eight).
With Tottenham turning a corner in the last week, they have the perfect opportunity to close the four-point gap on the top four with a win at the City Ground.
Although Tottenham haven’t won any of their five Premier League away games when conceding against Nottingham Forest, they have a striker in Richarlison who is bang in form.
Richarlison undoubtedly set to play huge role in Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest
Richarlison has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other Tottenham player this season (eight – six goals, two assists).
The Brazilian has had a hand in 18 goals (17 goals, one assist) in his last 24 league starts for Spurs.
Richarlison has come under fire for his work rate off the ball at times, although his goals against Man United and Man City have proved to be crucial.
Despite being linked with a move away from N17, the forward can prove his worth once more with a performance in a match that could prove to be a huge turning point in Spurs’ season.
