Prediction before the match Tottenham vs Nottingham
Nottingham Forest's place in the Premier League's top five is under threat and they travel to Tottenham Hotspur to revive their Champions League hopes. Nuno Espirito Santo's side impressed when chasing second-placed Arsenal last month, but back-to-back defeats have left them falling behind.
Before entering this match, Nottingham was knocked out of the top 5 because Man City and Chelsea both won. With 57 points after 32 matches, Nottingham still has the right to decide for themselves. However, the pressure is surrounding this team. In addition to Man City and Chelsea, Aston Villa is also close behind, creating an extremely tense situation. In the context that the top 2 positions are considered to have owners (Liverpool and Arsenal), the 5 teams behind will compete for the remaining 3 Champions League tickets.
Nottingham are fortunate to be playing Tottenham at this time. Since their impressive 4-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad on 23 November, Tottenham's season has been in freefall. In the 20 Premier League games since then, Spurs have won just five, drawn three and lost 12. Only the bottom three teams - Ipswich Town (13 points), Leicester City (8 points) and Southampton (6 points) - have collected fewer points than Tottenham's 18 in that period. Furthermore, Spurs have lost 16 of their last 20 Premier League games against teams who started the day in the top half of the table, suggesting they struggle against strong opposition.

Tottenham to field reserve team to welcome Nottingham? |
In addition, Tottenham have reached the semi-finals of the Europa League and are likely to reach the final when they only have to face Bodo Glimt. Like MU, the Europa League is the only chance for Tottenham to salvage this forgettable season, and they are likely to rest their key players. Last night, MU lost to Wolves at Old Trafford with a squad that included many substitutes.
However, Nottingham need to improve their form if they do not want to be disappointed. Coach Nuno Santo's team has lost 4 of their last 5 away matches. Nottingham's defense is still good, but their attack has decreased somewhat.
Head to head history, form Tottenham vs Nottingham
Tottenham have traditionally dominated at home against Nottingham, winning their last three meetings at the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. However, before this run, they had won just one of their 11 home games against Forest (D2 L8). Forest's victory in the reverse fixture this season suggests they are capable of pulling off an upset, and they will be aiming to complete a double over Spurs for the first time since 1996-97.
