Tottenham Hotspur have had a tough season in the Premier League, but a 1-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday advanced them to the Europa League semi-finals. They will aim to capitalize on their strong performance in Germany as they face Nottingham Forest on Monday.
Managed by former Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest are eyeing a Champions League spot for the next season. However, their recent performances on the road have been worrying, setting the stage for a potentially high-scoring match in north London.
Team news
There are doubts over Tottenham midfielder James Maddison's availability following a collision that earned Tottenham a penalty in Frankfurt. Heung-min Son is sidelined with a foot injury, while Radu Dragusin remains out long-term as he recuperates from a knee injury.
Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi are racing against time to be fit for Monday's match, but Anthony Elanga is set to make a return to Nuno's starting lineup.
The stats
Nottingham Forest have won 13 out of 15 matches against teams in the lower half of the Premier League table.
In three of Forest's last four away games, both teams have scored in defeats.
Tottenham have seen at least four goals in 15 of their 32 Premier League matches this season.
Both teams have scored in 12 of Spurs' last 14 home matches.
Ange Postecoglou's side has managed just two wins in their previous 10 home Premier League fixtures.
Forest have suffered defeats in four of their last five away league games.
Prediction
With only the Europa League to focus on this season and having won just 11 out of 32 Premier League games, Tottenham are likely to provide an attacking display leading to a high-scoring encounter against Nottingham Forest on Monday night.
Despite winning only two of their last 10 home league games, Tottenham's morale will be boosted by the victory in Frankfurt and most of their injury concerns are easing.
Forest cannot afford to sit back as the battle for a Champions League place heats up, although the top five are already assured of European football next season.
While Forest have a strong record against lower-ranking teams, their recent struggles on the road, losing four out of five matches, will be a worry for manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Expect goals in this match, especially considering Tottenham's tendency to be involved in high-scoring games. Betting on four or more goals in this Week 33 finale seems like a solid choice.
