Nottingham Forest vs. Tottenham Picks: Bet Goals, Wood Prop 12/26

Nottingham Forest can continue their impressive home form when they host Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground on Boxing Day. The Tricky Trees have been formidable on their own turf this season, losing just twice in eight home matches, and are the favorites in soccer betting odds.

Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo remain sidelined for Nottingham Forest but are due to return from injury in the New Year. Meanwhile, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou lamented the injuries that have cost Spurs four-fifths of their first-choice back five in recent games as he spoke in the wake of Sunday’s 6-3 home defeat to leaders Liverpool.

The Spurs boss can make minimal changes because of his threadbare squad and the fact that his side has 24 hours less time to prepare for this away trip to Nottingham could be another bridge too far for his players to cross.

Let’s preview the game and make my top two Nottingham Forest vs. Tottenham betting predictions.

Combo and Prop Picks for Nottingham Forest vs. Tottenham

1. Bet on Both teams to score & Over 2.5 Goals (-150)

Per Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham betting tips, you have to go back to 1997 to find the Tricky Trees’ last home win against Spurs, but their current form suggests they have a real chance of ending that long wait. Forest have won four of their last five at the City Ground and seven of their last 10 in the league overall.

Meanwhile, Tottenham has lost four of their last seven away matches across all competitions and four of their last seven road trips in the league. Goalkeeper Fraser Forster has struggled to play the way Postecoglou demands and his jitters now appear to have spread to Radu Dragusin, too.

It’s very tricky to bet on the moneyline here so if you’re looking for solid value in your Premier League soccer pick, you should back the combo bet of Both teams to score and Over 2.5 Goals.

2. Player Prop Bet: Chris Wood to Score (+150)

Forest striker Chris Wood, who has won his last nine scoring appearances for Nottingham or New Zealand, was their only goal scorer against Spurs last season and we expect him to do it again.

If you’re looking for a great soccer player prop pick, back Wood to score at least one time against Tottenham.
