Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest: Opta predicts Igor Tudor ‘sack’ result as Supercomputer makes bold claim
Tottenham Hotspur are set to host Nottingham Forest on Sunday in a crucial match in the fight to stay in the Premier League.
Vitor Pereira’s side comes into the game on the back of a brilliant penalty shootout victory against FC Midtjylland to progress into the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
However, Sunday will be the manager’s biggest test yet as he takes on an out-of-form Tottenham side in the hopes of moving further away from the relegation zone.
Yet, despite the contrasting form of both sides, Spurs are tipped to be the favourites to come away with three points.
Below, we examine Opta’s predictions for the crucial Forest clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

While Forest may hold a decent recent record against Spurs, on top of being the form side going into the fixture, they are far from being the favourites for the Premier League clash.
Opta on 20 March, believes Tottenham are far more likely to take three points, with a 48.9 per cent chance of this happening.

| Draws | 29 |
| Losses | 59 |
In contrast, Forest’s chances of winning the match are at just 25.4 per cent, with the odds of a draw being placed at 25.7 per cent.
If this comes about, it will bring an end to Pereira’s unbeaten run against Tottenham, with the manager yet to lose any of his three meetings against the club.
