West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

West Ham are unbeaten in their last two home games in the Premier League following three consecutive defeats. They have suffered just one defeat at home against The Tricky Trees since 1986 across competitions and should be confident of avoiding a defeat.

Nottingham, meanwhile, have failed to score in eight of their last 11 away games in the Premier League and might struggle here. They held Manchester City to a draw last time around, though.

However, considering their poor away form against West Ham, a win seems unlikely, but they have enough firepower to take home a point.

Prediction: West Ham United 1-1 Nottingham Forest
