Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tips: Kulusevski can star in Spurs success

Tottenham look ready to crank up the pressure on Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper by coming away from the City Ground with all three points on Friday evening.

Cooper is reportedly one bad result away from being shown the door and he will be worried about taking on Spurs, who were impressive 4-1 winners over Newcastle last time out.

Forest usually score at home, so they should also play their part in what could be an entertaining game in which Dejan Kulusevski looks set to be one of the dangermen for the visitors.

Our three-leg Pick Your Punt for Friday's Premier League clash pays out at 11/2.

Tottenham to win

Spurs set a new Premier League record for scoring first but failing to win when they managed the unwanted feat for five games running recently against Chelsea, Wolves, Aston Villa, Manchester City and West Ham.

They finally returned to winning ways with a 4-1 home hammering of Newcastle last weekend and, even though injuries continue to bite, they should have enough to see off a Forest side who are down in 16th place and who have lost their last two games at the City Ground.

The incentive is there for the visitors to follow up Sunday's victory as another win would move them level with current fourth-placed Man City in the table on 33 points.

Both teams to score - Yes

Tottenham have scored in every one of their 16 Premier League games so far this season and shouldn't have too many problems making it 17 matches in a row against Cooper's struggling side.

There is often action at both ends when Ange Postecoglou's team take to the pitch as his attacking set-up usually allows their opponents plenty of opportunities as well.

Indeed, both teams have scored in each of Tottenham’s last seven league games with Spurs’ last clean sheet coming in the 2-0 win over Fulham on October 23rd.

Forest have only failed to score in one of their home games this season so far, to further suggest both sides can get on the scoresheet at the City Ground.

Dejan Kulusevski to score anytime

Dejan Kulusevski caught the eye in the big victory over the Magpies even though he didn't add to his goal tally for the season, which stands at a fairly healthy four.

The Sweden international had two shots on target last Sunday, so it may well just be a matter of time before he is back amongst the goals if he continues to try his luck when in and around the penalty area.

Postecoglou will be relying on him trying to create and score in the final third against a Forest side that has conceded 13 goals in their recent winless five-game run.
