Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 12/08/2022, 07:21 by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Prediction

Nottingham Forest will be at home to West Ham United in their second match of the Premier League after a tough opening against Newcastle United. Both teams are yet to register a point following 2-0 losses on the opening weekend. West Ham United suffered a 2-0 loss to Manchester City while Nottingham were 2-0 losers at the hands of Newcastle United. It is eight years since these two sides faced off and going into the weekend placed in the relegation region should be enough motivation for either side to go for three points.

Nottingham Forest - West Ham: Form Analysis

These two sides are struggling; Nottingham Forest returned to the Premier League with an opening loss to Newcastle United and West Ham were second best in their game against Manchester City. For Nottingham, their opening loss was the fourth game without a win and West Ham have now gone winless in five matches. Much of their poor runs is down to not scoring a lot of goals, which as a result has seen most of their games producing under 2.5 goals.

Nottingham Forest & West Ham Squad Analysis

The concern at West Ham United at this point has been termed a thin squad. While Gianluca Scamacca has been roped in, he is only expected to play second fiddle to Michail Antonio, as seen in his debut, against City. Attack will be the least of West Ham worries though. In defence they will miss Nayef Aguerd, Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson, which means Ben Johnson and Kurt Zouma may be paired again. For Nottingham Forest, signing so many players didn’t deliver much on Match Day 1 but injuries to Steve Cook and Ryan Yates are not helping in terms of experience and depth. Belgian midfielder Orel Mangala made his debut against Newcastle United and will be key as Nottingham go for a win in their first home game.

Our Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction

Both these sides haven’t had great runs ahead of their faceoff. Nottingham are winless in their last four matches and West Ham five. Their scoring runs have also returned few goals and the most of them ended in under 2.5 goals. After their opening losses, we expect both sides to try and attack while staying cautious not to concede. In light of that we expect a low-scoring game, so go for Under 2.5 goals.
