Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham is a Premier League Gameweek 3 clash at the City Ground on Saturday, with the hosts marginally fancied.
Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Premier League clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy leans towards Forest, whose home form should tell against a stuttering Tottenham.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Nottingham Forest to win and both teams to score | 4/1 | Forest have dominated this fixture recently, winning the last two meetings 3-0, including away at Spurs, and they host a Tottenham side in a rough patch, winless and goalless in their opening two games while conceding five. That backdrop makes a Forest home win the solid part of this bet. The both-teams angle is supported by Forest’s own leakiness, having shipped three in their two games, so Spurs should carry some threat at the other end even amid their struggles. |
| Morgan GIbbs-White to score anytime and Omar Marmoush over 1.5 shots | 17/5 | Gibbs-White is Forest’s talisman and penalty taker, and the numbers back the scorer angle: 16 goals from 87 shots with 9.9 expected goals in the sample, a genuine goal threat at home against a Spurs defence conceding freely. Marmoush is a high-volume shooter, racking up 30 shots in limited Manchester City minutes and three shots in his single Tottenham start, a rate that clears 1.5 comfortably whenever he is on the pitch for a decent spell. |

How Nottingham Forest go into the game
Forest earned a fine 2-2 draw at Liverpool last time out, underlining their credentials. The City Ground will expect them to build on it.
Well-organised and dangerous on the break, Forest are difficult to face at home. Three points against Spurs is a real possibility.
How Tottenham go into the game
Tottenham were beaten 2-0 at home by Newcastle last time out, a disappointing result. They travel to Nottingham needing a response.
Spurs have the quality to win anywhere but looked short of ideas last time. A trip to the City Ground is a stern test.

Forest vs Tottenham stats to look out for
Tottenham have not scored in their opening two league games. That is the number that shapes this one.
| 2026/27, opening two league games | Forest | Tottenham |
|---|---|---|
| Goals scored | 2 | 0 |
| Expected goals (xG) | 3.04 | 1.81 |
| Shots | 24 | 26 |
| Shot accuracy | 21.4% | 47.6% |
| Chances created | 18 | 17 |
| Touches in the opposition box | 45 | 49 |
| Big chances missed | 3 | 4 |
It is not for a lack of shooting. Spurs have had 26 attempts, more than Forest’s 24, and their 47.62% accuracy is among the best in the league. The finishing simply has not arrived.
Forest have 3.04 xG from their two games and only two goals, so there is waste at both ends of this fixture.
