In my opinion odds on Tottenham are too high. They have bigger chances to win than bookies wants to suggest for us.

Spurs already played at this stadium in current season - they won 2:0 Premier League game in August so they have good mental advantage before today's match.

Obviously, both teams will use some rotation today before upcoming Premier League matches, but without any shadow of doubt Tottenham have stronger bench than Nottingham.

For who this match is more important? In my opinion Tottenham have much bigger motivation to win this game because team still looking for some title and they will give absolutely everything to win something in this season. Trophy is trophy and even deep run in EFL Cup is valuable for Spurs. On the other hand Nottingham main goal for current season is to avoid relegation in Premier League - currently they are on last position and deep run in EFL Cup will mean nothing if they not achieve their goal in league. On those circumstances I not will be surprised if Nottingham will use this game as a preparation for Premier League/test of some tactics. Loss in this game will not hurt them at all.

Tottenham have one of the best offensive formation in whole league - they scored 27 goals in 14 matches. I believe they have all required tools to make damage for poor Nottingham defense. Hosts at the back don't have any stability as they conceded 7 goals in last two league matches. Tottenham should be able to score more than one goal and that should be enough to make comfortable win.

在我看来，热刺获胜的几率太高了。他们获胜的机会比庄家给我们的建议要大。

热刺本赛季已经在这里踢过球了——他们在8月份的一场英超比赛中2:0获胜，所以在今天的比赛之前他们有很好的心理优势。

很明显，在接下来的英超比赛之前，两支球队都将使用一些轮换，但毫无疑问，热刺的替补阵容比诺丁汉的要强大。

这场比赛对谁更重要?在我看来，热刺有更大的动力去赢得这场比赛，因为球队仍然在寻找一些冠军，他们会在这个赛季付出一切去赢得一些东西。奖杯就是奖杯，即使是足总杯的冠军对热刺来说也是有价值的。另一方面，诺丁汉本赛季的主要目标是在英超联赛中保级——目前他们处于垫底的位置，如果不能在联赛中实现他们的目标，那么他们在英足总杯上的努力将毫无意义。在这种情况下，如果诺丁汉将这场比赛作为英超联赛的准备/一些战术的测试，我不会感到惊讶。这场比赛的失败不会对他们造成任何伤害。

热刺拥有整个联赛中最好的进攻阵型之一——他们在14场比赛中打进27球。我相信他们有所有需要的工具来对诺丁汉可怜的防守造成伤害。主队的后防线不稳定，他们在最近两场联赛中丢了7球。热刺应该可以打进不止一个球，这应该足以轻松取胜。
