Nottingham Forest Leaking a Lot of Goals
Nottingham Forest have a shaky defence and have conceded at least once in their previous eight competitive games. Since Oliver Glasner’s appointment, Forest have also conceded in nine of 12 matches.
The Tricky Trees made a slow start to the new campaign and lost their opening two fixtures. Glasner’s team lost back-to-back games at home against Leeds 1-0 and 2-0.
The Midlands outfit showed some improvement in a 2-2 draw at Liverpool on Saturday. Forest had 2.3 XG, led twice through Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White and conceded two second half goals.
Tottenham’s Long-Term Issues Continue
Tottenham are lacking form and have won just five of their last 20 competitive fixtures. Spurs have conceded 39 goals in that period.
The north Londoners have already conceded six goals in three games in 2026/27. Spurs lost their first Premier League match of the season 3-0 at Brentford and responded with a 5-1 cup victory against Charlton.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side fell to 19th in the Premier League table after a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle. Tottenham couldn’t score with 17 shots and 1.12 XG and conceded two goals in the last 30 minutes.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Nottingham Forest (3-4-2-1): Matz Sels; Jair Cunha, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo; Daniel Munoz, Xaver Schlager, James McAtee, Neco Williams; Morgan Gibbs-White, Dan Ndoye; Igor Jesus
Nicolo Savona is unavailable with a long-term knee issue. Oliver Glasner explained that the defender is still weeks away from returning and said:
“Hopefully he can fully train with us during the international break or afterwards, and then he should be back soon.”
Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Antonin Kinsky; Archie Gray, Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven, Andy Robertson; Rodrigo Bentancur, Sandro Tonali; Pedro Porro, Mateus Fernandes, Mathys Tel; Omar Marmoush
Midfielder James Maddison and winger Savinho are injury doubts.
Attacker Wilson Odobert is ruled out due to a knee problem. Midfield pair Xavi Simons and Dejan Kulusevski are also sidelined with long-term injuries.
Verdict
Nottingham Forest concede a lot under Glasner and Tottenham are lacking any sort of defensive consistency. BTTS and over 2.5 goals are the best value bets in this Premier League clash.
