Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Ian John in Premier League Predictions
Saturday afternoon at the City Ground sees Premier League action as Nottingham Forest aim to continue their excellent run of recent form against West Ham United. It is a fixture which has a history of goals, and winners, with no drawn games between Forest and the Hammers in the last eleven matches between the two. Read on to check out the prediction for this match!
Nottingham Forest come into this game with Nuno Espirito Santo’s team occupying a lofty seventh-place in the Premier League, level on points (16) and goal difference (+4) with sixth place Brighton but behind them by virtue of goals scored. They hold a three-point lead over Tottenham and Brentford in eighth and ninth in the table.
Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham have had a real mixed bag of form this season and the pressure is on the Spaniard to try and earn more consistent results. With just eleven points from their nine games (-3 goal difference), the Hammers sit 13th in the table. A win here for the Hammers could catapult them into the upper half of the standings, depending on how results go in other matches this weekend.

Nottingham Forest - West Ham: Form Analysis
Coming into this game Nottingham Forest have comfortably the best form of the two teams this season. Forest have lost just one game this season, a 1-0 home defeat to Fulham. Since then though, they have earned a 1-1 draw away to Chelsea and then followed that up with a 1-0 win at home to Crystal Palace and last weekend earned a 3-1 win away at Leicester.
The home team has won nine of the last ten of these fixtures.
It is an important game for Forest as after this match they face a tricky run of fixtures with a home game against Newcastle, then away games at Arsenal and Manchester City to come in three of their next four Premier League matches.
With four defeats in nine games, West Ham’s form this season has been generally poor. However, they have won two of their last three games. Both of them came at home, a 4-1 win over Ipswich and then last weekend’s controversial 2-1 win over Manchester United.
Sandwiched in between that though was their first away defeat of the season when they went down 4-1 to Tottenham. Prior to that game, they had won one and drawn two of their previous three away from home.
Both teams were not in Carabao Cup action in midweek so should be well rested for this game.

Nottingham Forest & West Ham Squad Analysis
The good news for both teams is that the injury situation for both is relatively light, compared to some other teams in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest will be without Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare.
However, Morgan Gibbs-White is though to be close to coming back into contention. That is a timely boost for Forest especially since on-loan James Ward-Prowse cannot play against his parent club due to a stipulation in his loan deal between the two clubs.
In form striker Chris Wood is the man to watch for the home side, having netted an impressive seven goals in nine Premier League games this season.
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui has a couple of absentees for the game this weekend with German international striker Niclas Fullkrug still some way from a return due to a niggling Achilles injury.
Hammers Winger Mohammed Kudus is suspended.
There is speculation that Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta may be dropped for the game, after Crysencio Summerville came on and scored against Manchester United last weekend. This would be a bold move from Lopetegui, but one that many Hammers fans would agree with especially given Paqueta's lukewarm form this season.

Our Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction
Our prediction for Nottingham Forest vs. West Ham United in the Premier League is: Over 2.5 Goals and Both Teams to Score.
This is a tricky one to call as Forest home games have tended to be low scoring, but the form of both teams, and their history, suggests that this is a game that will break that trend. With both sides badly in need of the win, this should be a game with plenty of chances, especially given West Ham's defensive issues. As such the over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring bet looks the best option.
