Tottenham is gearing up to meet Nottingham Forest in a crucial English Premier League match on Monday at 3 p.m. ET. After ending last season in fifth place, Tottenham currently sits at 15th in the league, while Nottingham Forest has remarkably improved from 17th to fifth.

In their previous encounter, Nottingham Forest won 1-0 at home, but they have faced setbacks lately, losing two consecutive league matches. On the other side, Tottenham hopes to carry forward their momentum after advancing to the UEFA Europa League semifinals.

Sutton’s Predictions

1. Nottingham Forest Draw No Bet (+104): With impressive performances this season, notably from seasoned players like Chris Wood and Matz Sels, Forest aims for a continued rise towards European competition.

   “It’s risky to bet on Forest considering their two recent losses, but they are vying for a UEFA spot.”

2. Under 2.5 Goals (+133): Given both teams’ tendencies, especially Tottenham’s recent struggles in front of goal, a low-scoring match is likely.

   “Forest’s defense has been solid, and Tottenham has faced challenges in scoring, suggesting the under is good value.”
