Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest

In a crucial Premier League clash at the bottom end of the table, 16th-placed Tottenham host 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. Both sides will be desperate for points in this relegation six-pointer, with the match set to kick off on Sunday 22nd March 2026, at 14:15.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Form

The Lilywhites enter this fixture on the back of a 3-2 Champions League victory over Atletico, a welcome boost despite their European exit. However, their Premier League form paints a starker picture. Tottenham have failed to win any of their last 12 Premier League matches, a worrying run that sees them languishing in 20th place in the form table for their last six league outings, having secured just one point from a possible 18. Their last Premier League match saw them draw 1-1 away to Liverpool.

Nottingham Forest's recent form in the Premier League is equally concerning, as they have failed to win their last seven league matches. In their most recent league fixture, the visitors played out a goalless draw at home against Fulham. Over their last six Premier League games, Forest sit 19th in the form table, managing only three points from three draws and three losses. They did, however, progress in the Europa League after a penalty shootout victory over FC Midtjylland in their last outing, which might provide a psychological lift.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Head to Head

The last encounter between these two teams saw Nottingham Forest secure a dominant 3-0 victory over Tottenham at home in December 2025 in the Premier League.

Looking at their last six meetings across all competitions, the head-to-head record is perfectly balanced, with both Tottenham and Nottingham Forest claiming three victories each. Interestingly, Nottingham Forest have been winning at both half-time and full-time in their last three matches against Tottenham, and have won their last three overall against the North London club.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Team News

Tottenham's injury woes appear to be easing, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven both set to start together for the first time since early February. However, the hosts will still be without the injured Odobert, Bentancur, Davies, Kudus, Kulusevski, and Maddison. Randal Kolo Muani is expected to lead the line following his goal in midweek.

Nottingham Forest will be without several key players for their trip to North London. John Victor, Nicolo Savona, Willy Boly, Jair Cunha, and Chris Wood are all confirmed absentees due to injury. The visitors are expected to recall their first-team regulars after rotating the squad for their midweek Europa League fixture.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Match Prediction

Tottenham might be winless in 12 Premier League games - their longest run ever - but the draw at Liverpool and victory over Atletico Madrid, albeit despite going out, has lifted the mood in North London.

Spurs, who have only won twice at home all season, are just one point above the relegation zone, so a much-needed victory would go some way to keeping them in the division.

But this is a six-pointer with Nottingham Forest just one point and one place below Tottenham in the Premier League and they are also fighting for their lives.

The City Ground club have won their last three games against Spurs and a fourth on the bounce could go some way to securing another season of top-flight football.
