Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur: prediction & betting odds 26 Dec 2024
Betting tips 26 Dec 2024
Nottingham Forest capitalised on their opponent's mistakes in the last round, while Tottenham Hotspur's players made so many errors on Sunday that it's concerning. This match could potentially be Ange Postecoglou's last as the head of the London side.
Nottingham Forest are not planning to slow down as they hold onto their place in the Champions League zone, taking advantage of opportunities presented by wealthier clubs. They performed so well that they handed Brentford their first home defeat in the league (0:2). The second goal was a clear defensive mistake gratefully exploited by Anthony Elanga. Now, Nottingham Forest will have home advantage, where they have recorded four wins and just one defeat in their last five matches.
Tottenham Hotspur were tested against Liverpool on Sunday and failed spectacularly (3:6). Their defence was torn apart across the pitch, with standout performances from Mohamed Salah (2), Luis Díaz (2), and Dominik Szoboszlai (1+1). The Londoners' manager was quite outspoken in the press conference, either refusing to answer questions or using colourful language. He didn't quit, but he might face dismissal. He cited squad issues: the first-choice goalkeeper, two central defenders, and a left winger were unavailable, and Richarlison de Andrade was missing in attack.
With such a depleted and nervous Tottenham Hotspur side, Nottingham Forest have a strong chance to claim victory. The hosts don't forgive mistakes, and there are bound to be some. We'll take a cautious approach and opt for a zero handicap.
