Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest predictions

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou maintains he is concentrating on the bigger picture as his first season in charge heads towards his climax.

However, Spurs fans would be delighted if the Australian can steer the club into the top four of the Premier League and they can boost their chances with a home win against Nottingham Forest.

The north London outfit have been chipping away in their pursuit of Aston Villa since the top three disappeared over the horizon but their performances have been intense, entertaining and hair-raising for their followers, particularly on their own patch where matches have followed a familiar pattern.

The script usually involves Tottenham pouring forward at every opportunity, always looking for the next goal whatever the situation, and tending to allow the visitors to get on the scoresheet.

It didn't come off when they lost 2-1 to Wolves in the middle of February but that is the only occasion in their last eight home games when a Spurs win with both teams scoring was a losing bet.

Their visit from Forest seems a perfect fit for a similar outcome. The Tricky Trees must keep pushing on if they are to assure themselves of playing Premier League football next season and Tuesday's 3-1 win over Fulham indicates they are heading in the right direction.

They will have seen that Tottenham have kept just one home clean sheet in their last 14 home matches. And there will be nobody keener for Forest to put on a show than their manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who had an underwhelming spell in the opposite dugout before Postecoglou rejuvenated the boys from N17.

Forest were generally a soft touch on the road under Nuno's predecessor Steve Cooper but they laid down a marker in the Portuguese gaffer's first game in charge with a 3-1 Boxing Day win at Newcastle.

They have failed to gain a victory on their travels since then but have scored in five of their six subsequent away matches and will be confident they can catch Tottenham on the break.

It seems doubtful that they will be able to keep the home forwards quiet enough to claim a positive result, mainly because Spurs are so relentless in attack.

Postecoglou insists his philosophy isn't going to change, so it seems unwise to divert from a betting strategy that has been so successful in recent months.
