Nottingham Forest suffered back-to-back home defeats in league and cup against Leeds United to start the season, but then managed to secure a point at Anfield against Liverpool last time out.
Tottenham have suffered defeats in their two opening league games of the season against Brentford and Newcastle, but sandwiched between those losses was a 5-1 win over Charlton in the League Cup.
With both of these teams searching for their first three points of the new season and their fans already getting frustrated with the managers, we're expecting a tight and tense 90 minutes at The City Ground this weekend.
Forest struggled in front of goal in their opening two matches against Leeds, and are yet to keep a single clean sheet in all competitions. Tottenham's defence has looked even worse than Forest's, conceding five goals in their two league games, but their attack looked sharp in the cup, so that is why we're backing both teams to score on Saturday.
Tottenham haven't won any of their last four games against Forest; in fact, they have lost all of them. The hosts played some good football against Liverpool and are starting to adapt to the new manager's tactics, while Tottenham's performance against Newcastle only left their fans with more questions than answers.
While we are expecting a close game between these two clubs, we're backing Nottingham Forest to pile on the misery to the travelling Tottenham fans courtesy of a 2-1 victory.
Nottingham Forest 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
