Command Analysis

Tottenham Hotspur

Current form
Tottenham has long been unable to solve serious tournament problems in the Premier League and is betting on a possible trophy win in the Europa League. The quarterfinals of the second most important European club tournament have been completed. Initially, the confrontation with Eintracht was not planned to be easy, as a result, it turned out to be a very tight fight. On their own field, the Spurs could not defeat the Bundesliga representative – a draw of 1:1. We managed to win away with a minimum score of 1:0. Solanke, who scored a goal in the first half from the penalty spot, brought victory to his team and a ticket to the semifinals. Then we had to defend a lot in the second half, but the Londoners held out. There is a two-legged battle ahead in the semi-finals against the Norwegian Bud Glimt.
In the Premier League, Ange Postecoglou's team is only in 16th place. Winning today will allow you to go up three places at once, but this is unlikely to motivate the players much. In the previous six rounds in the Premier League, the Spurs won only one victory, and that was over the main outsider of the tournament, Southampton (3:1). In the previous league game, Tottenham could not cope with Wolverhampton on the road - they lost 2:4.
This season, nothing is working out in the Premier League for Spurs. Even the home field factor doesn't help much – there are only six wins in 16 meetings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dragushin will not play due to injuries. The appearance of Son and Maddison on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Tottenham have not won in the first half.
- In the last ten matches in the Premier League, Spurs won only once in the second 45 minutes.
- In 12 of Tottenham's 14 previous Premier League home games, there was a bet on both goals.
- Tottenham have not lost by offside in three of the previous four matches.
Approximate line–up: Vicario - Gray, Romero, Davis, Spence – Bissouma, Bentancourt, Sarr–Johnson, Solanke, Tel.

Nottingham Forest

Current form
For a long time, Nottingham Forest was confidently among the top three in the Premier League, even forcing Arsenal to fight for second place. Now it looks like the largely modest team is not able to withstand the fierce competition at the top of the table. In any case, two defeats in a row are alarming. If the setback in Birmingham with Aston Villa did not raise any big questions (1-2), then a 0-1 home defeat against Everton was clearly not part of the plans. In that meeting, the foresters could not find an opportunity to open the reliable defense of the toffees, everything was going to a peaceful outcome, but the opponent scored his goal in the fourth added minute.
It should be noted that in February, Nottingham Forest was in a similar situation, lost two matches in a row, but then broke up with Arsenal (0-0) and followed up with a three-match winning streak in the championship. A lot will now depend on Nuno Espirito Santo and his tactical decisions.
Two defeats in a row led to Nottingham Forest dropping out of the top 5. However, all competitors have played their matches of the 33rd round. A victory in London today will allow the foresters to immediately return to third place, obviously the motivation of the players will be off the charts.
Disqualifications and injuries
There's only Aina and Avoniyi in Nottingham Forest's infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Nottingham Forest had not lost in the first half
- No more than three goals have been scored in five of the Foresters' previous six Premier League matches.
- In 12 consecutive away matches in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest has not played a draw (six wins and six losses)
- Nottingham Forest has scored goals in eight of the last nine away games in the Premier League.
Provisional squad: Celce– Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno –Yates, Anderson – Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi–Wood.

1.51Tip and bets
Tottenham have only won once in the last six rounds in the Premier League, and that was over outright outsider Southampton. All Spurs' thoughts are now connected with the Europa League, there is simply no motivation in the Premier League, since the season turned out to be a failure in the championship anyway. It is clear that the players will not play carelessly at home, but this season the home field factor does not help much – only six wins in 16 matches played. The Nottingham Forest players have no problems with motivation, especially after two defeats in a row. So far, in terms of the fight for a place in the Champions League, everything is in the hands of the foresters themselves. Back in February, Nuno Espirito Santo demonstrated his ability to pull the team after a slump (then there were also two defeats in a row). We believe that the motivation factor will still play a key role today.
Our prediction is that Nottingham Forest will win with an Asian handicap (0) by a factor of 1.93
Bet on the total
Nottingham Forest is most often successful due to a well-organized defensive game and the ability to maintain its advantage. It is unlikely that the guests will choose a different tactic today. Moreover, it is very difficult to beat Tottenham in an open attacking game.
The second bet is a total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.85
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
In two of the last three winning matches in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest won with a one-goal difference, with an accurate score of 1:0. We won't be too surprised if the foresters score their goal and try their best to keep their advantage.
Prediction – Nottingham Forest wins with a one-goal advantage with a coefficient of 4.60
