Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction, odds and betting offer Nottingham Forest are fast becoming touted as this season's overachievers as they sit in the top four going into Boxing Day and Nuno Espirito Santo will be looking to get one up on his former employers as they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the City Ground in their festive Premier League clash.
They are, however, also eight points ahead of Tottenham in the league who occupy 11th so a sudden dip in form could see them plummet down the league positions making this year's race for Europe a big one with many teams eyeing a trip around the continent next season.
A place in the Carabao Cup semi-final will definitely ease the pressure a little bit on Ange Postecoglou - who reiterated he always wins trophies in his second season at a club - but were humbled massively by Liverpool in the league and at home in a nine-goal thriller ahead of Boxing Day.
The visitors sit midtable but only two wins can launch them up in the Europa League spots again which emphasises just how close it is in the Premier League right now when it comes to the European spots.
The hosts are in a totally unexpected position and sit in the Champions League spots after Christmas and just eight points behind league leaders Liverpool.
