Historical Statistical Verdict

The combination of historical records and current-season form tilts the statistical picture slightly in Nottingham Forest’s favour ahead of this Premier League clash at the City Ground. Forest lead the Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham stats across the last five direct meetings with three wins to Tottenham’s two, and have scored 10 goals to Tottenham’s 6. Crucially, Forest have taken maximum points in both recent home fixtures against Tottenham and have also won twice at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in this period.

From a 2026 season-to-date perspective, Forest’s return of 1 point from 2 matches, with 2 goals scored, is modest but compares more positively to Tottenham’s two defeats, 5 goals conceded and no goals scored. The venue split also favours Forest, who have a perfect recent record at the City Ground against this opponent. While early-season volatility and Premier League quality on both sides mean the match remains finely balanced, the weight of the head-to-head record and Tottenham’s current attacking struggles suggest that Nottingham Forest approach this fixture with a slight historical and form-based edge.
