Command Analysis
Nottingham Forest
EnglandCurrent form
Nottingham Forest has become one of the main discoveries of the current season in the Premier League. It seemed that the "foresters" would not withstand the competition over the distance and would be located in their more usual positions in the middle of the table. However, 17 rounds are behind them, and the modest team by the standards of the Premier League occupies the fourth place, and even has a gap of three points from the nearest pursuer. After a 0:3 defeat to Manchester City, Nuno Espirito Santo charges have shown an impressive series of three victories in a row over Manchester United (3:2), Aston Villa (2:1) and Brentford (2:0). Two of these three victories were achieved away, although the "foresters" traditionally perform most successfully at home.

Tottenham Hotspur
EnglandCurrent form
Tottenham are clearly performing below expectations and forecasts this season, and they can’t get a decent winning streak in the Premier League. Over the last five rounds, Spurs have only one victory – a crushing 5:0 away win over outsider Southampton. The Londoners have obvious problems in defense, as evidenced most clearly by their latest home defeat to Liverpool with a score of 3:6. In that match, the Merseysiders did everything they wanted in the opponent’s penalty area, made 12 shots on target, half of which were accurate. It is obvious that the tactic of using high pressing is not working for Spurs, and even their usual powerful attack is not ready to compensate for regular lapses in defense, especially in matches against strong opponents.
Disqualifications and injuries
Betancourt lengthy suspension has ended. However, Vicario, Richarlison, Odobert, Davies, van de Ven and Romero are still on the injured list.
Interesting trends for betting

19.00Tip and bets
Nottingham Forest have been playing a more even and stable season, not allowing themselves to constantly fail in defense, unlike their opponents. Plus, the Foresters are distinguished by their clear implementation of moments, which will clearly be in decent quantities today.

Our prediction is a Nottingham Forest win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.77
