>Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction & Betting Tips – 05/09/2026
Nottingham Forest welcome Tottenham Hotspur to The City Ground on 9 May 2026 in a Premier League fixture carrying real consequence for both clubs. Forest sit fifteenth, mired in a difficult run, while Spurs occupy seventeenth and are staring at genuine relegation danger. Neither side can afford to drop points at this stage of the season, turning what might once have been a mid-table affair into a tense, high-stakes encounter. The atmosphere on Trentside should be electric.
Match Analysis
Nottingham Forest enter this Premier League clash as narrow home favorites at 2.50, backed by extraordinary recent H2H dominance over Spurs. Despite a shaky LLDDL run, The City Ground remains a fortress against this specific opponent.
- 4 wins from 4 recent H2H meetings, including a 3-0 home victory in December 2025.
- 0-3 away win in March 2026 confirms Forest's structural edge over Spurs is no fluke.
- Tottenham sit 17th in the table with a WLWLD form run, fragile and inconsistent.
- Spurs missing 6 key players including Kulusevski, Simons, Odobert, and Bissouma, gutting their midfield.
Tottenham Hotspur arrive at The City Ground as slight away favorites on paper at 2.75, yet their squad is severely depleted. With ACL victims Simons and Odobert joined by Kulusevski and Bentancur, Ange Postecoglou has almost no reliable attacking or midfield spine available.
- Spurs have lost all 4 recent H2H meetings, conceding 9 goals across those fixtures.
- No confirmed starting XI available, with Maddison also doubtful and creative options exhausted.
- Tottenham's 17th-place standing reflects a squad too thin to absorb this level of injury crisis.
Key point: With both squads heavily depleted and Forest's H2H dominance suggesting tight, controlled contests, the double chance covering home or draw pairs well with cautious backing at 3.40.

Our Verdict
Forest's extraordinary head-to-head dominance makes the double chance 1X a compelling selection, backed by the home price at 2.50. Four consecutive victories over Spurs, including a 3-0 demolition at this very ground in December 2025, paint a stark picture. Tottenham sit 17th and have won just twice in five, offering little reason for confidence on the road. The draw at 3.40 provides additional cover. Our pick: 1X, with Forest's historic supremacy the decisive factor. Questo articolo è a scopo informativo e non costituisce una raccomandazione di gioco.
