In a clash of passions in the Premier League, promoted Nottingham Forest hosted a solid Tottenham Hotspur side on Sunday night (28th). Although Forest is a newly promoted team, their ambition is undiminished, and they have spared no expense in bringing in 17 new recruits this summer, giving the team a new look. There is no shortage of players with both strength and experience, and their performance in the new season has been a pleasant surprise. Tottenham Hotspur, despite their overall strength, have a single attacking tactic, which will be difficult for them to use at Forest's home ground, so I'm optimistic that the total number of goals scored by both sides will be no more than 2.5 goals.

Forest have expanded their squad since their promotion this season, and the current lineup is very different from last season's Championship campaign. New signings such as Gerard, Deane, Dachen, Nicholls, Williams and Ehonyer have been performing well, and stars such as Emmanuel Dennis, Fiona and Goyedi made their debuts in the League Cup in midweek, helping the team to a 3-0 win over Gainsborough, which is a significant improvement in both strength and morale.
Forest have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 1 in the new season, with one of their home matches showing strong fighting spirit with a narrow 1-0 win over Westham. In addition, Forest's last three league matches have a total of two goals or less, so their defense is trustworthy.
Sun Chai Richardson has yet to break the record
Tottenham Hotspur has 2 wins and 1 draw in the new season, and their leader Dryland is known for his "practical" style, focusing on efficiency rather than flashy style of play. The last round of home games against Wolves although 1-0 win, but the whole situation is not dominant, and finally only rely on a corner kick attack scored, offensive creativity needs to be improved.
Tottenham Hotspur's top scorer last season, Son Heung-min, and heavily-imported striker Richard Lipson have yet to start their seasons, and there are still doubts about Tottenham Hotspur's ability to score, so look for the total number of goals between the two sides to be no more than 2.5 goals.
