We look ahead to Monday’s Premier League game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with our Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest prediction and preview. Can Nuno Espírito Santo get their Champions League push back on track?
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Stats: The Key Insights
Tottenham Hotspur are slight favourites to come out on top on Monday, with the Opta supercomputer giving them a 38.9% chance of winning. Since 23 November, only the bottom three have earned fewer points than Spurs’ 18. Nottingham Forest have lost just two of their last 35 league games played on Easter Monday (W21 D12).Nottingham Forest’s spot in the Premier League top five is coming under threat, and they travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday looking to reignite their Champions League push.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side had started to close on second-place Arsenal last month, but after losing their last two matches, have slipped out of third place as the European race heats up.
However, only once before under Nuno have they suffered three consecutive defeats, doing so in February and March last season, and he will be determined not to lose at his former employer on Monday.
Forest have suffered on the road of late, though, having lost four of their last five Premier League away games (W1), after losing just two of their first 11 such games this season (W7 D2).
Their main aim will be to give themselves a solid base by shoring up their defence again. Forest have conceded just 38 goals so far, with only the top two (Liverpool – 31, Arsenal – 27) letting in fewer.
Perhaps the Easter period will help turn the tide. The Tricky Trees have only lost two of their last 35 league games played on Easter Monday (W21 D12).
And in the top-flight, their record is even better. They’re unbeaten in 16 (W13 D3) since a 1-0 loss at Chelsea in 1966.
It is not, however, a day that brings joy to Spurs. They have lost their last two Premier League games played on Easter Monday, with both of those defeats coming at home (2-1 v Manchester United in 2006 and 2-1 v Norwich City in 2012).
Ange Postecoglou’s side received a much-needed boost in midweek, though, sealing their place in the Europa League semi-finals after a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg and easing some of the pressure on their manager.
A 4-2 defeat to Wolves last weekend piled more misery on Spurs in the Premier League, though, and if results don’t go their way this weekend, they could be sitting as low as 17th in the table by kick-off.
Since their 4-0 hammering of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in November, only Ipswich Town (13), Leicester City (8) and Southampton (6) have picked up fewer points than Spurs (18), who have lost 12 out of 20 games after beating the reigning champions (W5 D3).
Their 17 defeats this season are also the most they have suffered in a league campaign since 2003-04 (19, finishing 14th). They have also lost 16 of their last 20 Premier League matches against teams starting the day in the top half of the table (W3 D1).
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Head-to-Head
Tottenham have won each of their last three home league games against Forest, having won just one of the previous 11 against them prior (D2 L8).

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Forest’s chances of victory sit at 36.3%, so a draw could be the most likely result, with the probability of that 24.9%.
