SlipsTips examines the Bet Builder market ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Nottingham Forest from the Premier League on Monday night.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest (Monday, 20:00)
Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest will round off the Premier League weekend when they face off on Monday night.
Ange Postecoglou’s men come into this clash following a morale-boosting Europa League quarter-final success over Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night.
As for Nottingham Forest, there have been signs of one or two jitters in their quest for Champions League qualification following a pair of back-to-back defeats.
Over 4 Tottenham Corners
I’ll kick-off the Bet Builder by taking Tottenham to earn five or more corners on Monday night. Ange Postecoglou’s side have been the corner kings in the Premier League this season, averaging a league-high 7.00 flag-kicks per 90. In fact, that tally increases to 7.69 per game when Spurs are operating at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium headquarters.
Nottingham Forest, in contrast, are conceding a sizeable 6.41 corners per game in the Premier League this season. It’s also worth noting that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side lost the corner battle 7-2 when hosting Spurs at the City Ground earlier this season.
Dejan Kulusevski 1 + Shot
For the first of two player-based selections, I’ll opt for Dejan Kulusevski to register a minimum of one shot during this Monday night showdown. The classy Tottenham playmaker has averaged 1.79 shots per game up until this point of the current Premier League campaign. Drill down further and it can be seen that Kulusevski has tried his luck in front of goal in each of his last 14 starts in the top flight, including each of his last six at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Nottingham Forest will be set up to sit deep and counter-attack and that should invite plenty of pressure and shots from Spurs. What’s more, the Tricky Trees are conceding an average of 13.94 shots per game in the Premier League this term.
Elliot Anderson to Commit 1+ Foul
Look to Elliot Anderson to commit a minimum of one foul for the final leg of the Bet Builder. The Nottingham Forest midfielder has been a frequent offender this season, evidenced by his foul per game average of 1.49. Moreover, Anderson has got on the wrong side of the referee once or more in 12 of his previous 13 Premier League appearances. Expect that trend to continue when Anderson comes up against a Tottenham team that he committed two fouls against earlier this season.
