Our prediction for the match Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
The club from London is used to setting maximum goals. The same was in the previous cycle, but Aston Villa turned out to be a little better, taking 4th place. Speaking about the representatives of Nottingham, the already difficult situation was further complicated by a penalty in the form of points taken away for deviations from financial fair play. Still, having replaced Steve Cooper, who had brought the club from the Championship, with Espiritu Santo in the first lap, it was possible to finish in 17th place even under such conditions. Fortunately, the competition was low, and 32 points, after deducting the penalty, were enough.
Nuno and his team are really surprising now. They will play against Manchester City in the cup semi-final next week. And, that is the most important, the team was higher than the champions, and everyone except Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League. It is reasonable to mention that as soon as it stumbled in the battle against Everton in the previous round, Newcastle “threw” the opponent back one step. As for the club from the capital, the situation is the opposite – there is a complete failure in the championship. There were hopes for the League Cup, but, having first won against Liverpool by a minimum, Postecoglou’s footballers were routed in the return semi-final at Anfield, and then in the FA Cup. Only the Europa League remained. Having advanced to the play-offs in the meeting with AZ, they were able to win in Frankfurt in the quarter-finals battle against Eintracht after a draw at the home arena. Having suffered through the season in the Premier League, the club lost again in the previous round – the confrontation with Wolverhampton brought a failure, this time a 2-4 one.
Son and the company, despite the dire situation in the tournament table, have got nice statistics – 1.88/1.53. Wood and the company score significantly less, 1.59 goals on average. Still, Sels concedes only 1.19 goals per struggle.
