Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham prediction

THE FORECAST

Both teams start the season poorly with a loss and zero points, but Tottenham is dealing with an exceptionally heavy injury list — Simons, Kulusevski, Odobert, Van de Ven, Maddison, Porro and Sarr are all out — which seriously undermines their attacking and defensive build-up (3 goals conceded after one match). Forest have the home advantage with a new coaching duo under Glasner, who typically play compact and organized football, which in the cool and wet conditions (16mm rainfall, 13-21°C) will dampen the intensive pressing from both teams and favor a low-scoring, scrappy encounter. The match load data contains inconsistencies (negative rest days), but given Tottenham's limited squad depth due to all the absences, Forest are slight favorites at home.
