LiontipsNottingham Forest vs West Ham. Prediction (odds 2.75) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Nottingham Forest have become one of the main revelations of the opening period of the season in the Premier League. The Foresters have suffered only one defeat in nine rounds, have gained 16 points, with which they are in seventh place in the table. While Nuno Espirito Santo charges are aiming for a place in the European Cups, there is no talk of any fight for survival. Undoubtedly, the most resounding success was the away victory over Liverpool with a minimum score of 1:0. However, in the last two rounds, Nottingham Forest demonstrated the ability to defeat not the most formidable opponents - victories over Crystal Palace (1:0) and Leicester (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ward-Prowse is out under contract, Sangare and Danilo are injured, and Gibbs-White is a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nottingham Forest have drawn their last four games at half-time
- In nine of the previous ten matches, the Foresters did not lose in the first half
Probable line-up : Sels - Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno - Yates, Dominguez - Elanga, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi - Wood.
Current form
“West Ham”, despite a solid squad, which was strengthened significantly in the summer, can’t get into a winning streak. Nevertheless, in the last three rounds, the “hammers” have won two victories. They managed to beat “Ipswich” with a crushing score of 4:1 on their home field, then there was a home victory over “Manchester United” (2:1). In between these away successes, Julen Lopetegui’s charges failed in the away derby with “Tottenham” (1:4). With 11 points scored, the Londoners are in 13th place in the league table.

Taking into account the latest results, bookmakers are leading Nottingham Forest as the clear favourites. Meanwhile, in terms of potential and composition, West Ham is certainly not inferior to the Foresters. The Londoners have clearly made progress, they managed to win two of the previous three matches, and they regularly manage to open up the defence of any opponent. We think that, according to the odds posted, it is worth betting on the Londoners with insurance in case of a draw.
Our prediction is a West Ham win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.75

Both teams are not used to forcing events on the field. Nottingham Forest have drawn with their opponents in the first half in four previous matches, which we do not rule out this time.
