As Tottenham Hotspur prepare to host Nottingham Forest, the stakes could not be higher for both teams, given their precarious positions in the Premier League table. Spurs currently occupy 16th place with just 30 points, while Forest trails closely in 17th with a single point less. Despite Tottenham being favourites with a 42% probability of victory, their winless run in 2026 — marked by seven losses and five draws — casts an ominous shadow over their home advantage. The atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is likely to be tense, especially after a string of disappointing results, including a recent 0-3 loss to Forest.
