Tottenham v Nottingham Forest result predicted by supercomputer
Ange Postecoglou and the Tottenham players will be full of confidence when they host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
With his job thought to be on the line, Postecoglou secured the biggest result of his Tottenham career as his side beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 at Deutsche Bank Park on Thursday (17 April) to reach the UEFA Europa League semi-final.
Dominic Solanke netted the winner from the penalty spot in the 43rd minute after James Maddison was wiped out by Frankfurt goalkeeper Kauã Santos, an incident which left Keith Hackett shocked.
As a result, Postecoglou is expected to be afforded time by Daniel Levy, and the atmosphere will likely be a celebratory one when Spurs welcome Nottingham Forest to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday (21 April).
Tottenham backed to beat Nottingham Forest
Spurs are currently sitting 15th in the Premier League with little left to play for domestically, while they have a chance to make history by winning the Europa League.
Therefore, Postecoglou and his players will likely have one eye on the semi-final when they welcome UEFA Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest to North London. However, the home support will still be hoping for a positive result, which they have been backed to get.

| Bodø/Glimt v Tottenham | 8 May | Aspmyra Stadion |
According to Opta’s supercomputer, Tottenham have a 38.9 per cent chance of beating Nottingham Forest, while the Reds have been given a win probability of 36.3 per cent.
As a result, Spurs are slight favourites, while there is a 24.8 per cent chance of the two teams drawing.
Tottenham need to remain focused on winning the Europa League
A win against Nottingham Forest would give Postecoglou and the players another big boost. However, it would do very little for their season.
Meanwhile, winning the Europa League could change everything. Therefore, Postecoglou needs to ensure his players remain focused on what is important, and if that means rotating his squad, then that is what the 59-year-old must do.
