Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest predictions
Tottenham Hotspur’s season is still alive.
A 1-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday secured a 2-1 aggregate win in their Europa League quarter-final. The north Londoners are through to the semis, where they will face Norwegian upstarts Bodo/Glimt.
Kjetil Knutsen’s side have just knocked out Lazio, so they should not be underestimated. It is clear, though, that Tottenham are the favourites in that upcoming tie, the first instalment of which is scheduled for May 1.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are now a maximum of three wins away from the Europa League trophy and securing a place in next year’s Champions League. This has been a tumultuous campaign for Spurs, yet it might still be a glorious one.
Postecoglou gave a spiky reaction to journalists at his post-match press conference following the impressive success against Frankfurt.
“Unfortunately for a lot of you, you’re going to have to put up with me for a little bit longer. So let’s see how that goes,” Postecoglou said.
“I think I said yesterday, I am the same manager today that I was yesterday, so if people think us winning tonight makes me a better manager or whoever thinks I wasn’t doing a good job yesterday, should be feeling the same way.”
Postecoglou is certainly not a bad manager, but he has not done a good job in the Premier League this term. His team are 15th in the table heading into Easter weekend. By the time they take to the field on Monday, Tottenham could be as low as 17th.
Yes there have been injuries along the way, with Spurs harder hit than most, but they should be doing much better. As the head coach, the buck ultimately stops with Postecoglou.
Even if Tottenham have nothing left to play for in the Premier League, they must try to end the season as strongly as possible – starting with Monday’s match.
Nottingham Forest will not roll over, though. The division’s surprise package this season, Forest are fighting for Champions League qualification.
They have gone slightly off the boil of late. Back-to-back defeats by Aston Villa and Everton have left Nuno Espirito Santo’s side looking over their shoulder.
Forest will be desperate to get back on track at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This season has not gone as expected for either Tottenham Hotspur or Nottingham Forest – albeit in very different ways.
Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals
Tottenham deserve credit for their performance against Eintracht Frankfurt last time out.
They were put under pressure by their hosts, but Spurs defended manfully and posed a threat on the break.
It was an uncharacteristically disciplined display from Tottenham. Yet it is only a week since they shipped four goals to Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 4-2 defeat.

This is more likely to be an open and end-to-end encounter than a tight and cagey one. After all, there has been a league-high average of 3.41 goals in Tottenham’s 32 matches in 2024/25.
Nottingham Forest need a result and they should have some joy against Spurs on the counter-attack.
Go for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals at 8/11 with Paddy Power
Nottingham Forest to score first
Nottingham Forest started both of those defeats by Aston Villa and Everton badly. Generally, though, they have been quick out of the blocks this season.
Forest have scored the first goal 23 times this term. No other team in the division can match that record.
Tottenham have often hit the ground trudging. In their 16 home games this season, the north Londoners have conceded the opening goal nine times.
Tottenham will dominate possession in the early exchanges, with Forest focused on packing men behind the ball.
But with their speed in transition, Nuno’s team can land the first blow on Monday.
Back Nottingham Forest to score first at 10/11 with SBK
Anthony Elanga to score any time
Because of the danger Nottingham Forest pose on the counter-attack, Anthony Elanga is the sensible pick in this market.
Like many of his team-mates, the former Manchester United man is enjoying a fantastic season.
Elanga has had a direct hand in 14 goals, scoring six and setting up eight. Elanga has really come of age in this campaign.
Tottenham have struggled to keep opposition attacks quiet throughout 2024/25. There will be plenty of space for Forest to break into and that makes Elanga a real threat.
