Nottingham F. vs West Ham Prediction

Nottingham Forest welcome West Ham for a clash in the Premier League at City Ground, Nottingham on Sunday. Having never played each other in the Premier League before, this is the first time Nottingham Forest comes up against West Ham in this tournament. Thus, any eventual h2h stats stems from meetings in cup matches or friendlies.

Nobody likes to come through the opening round of a new season with a defeat, but that is exactly what Nottingham Forest had to settle for in their first match. West Ham will be hopeful of getting on the board after an unlucky opening to the new Premier League campaign which left them empty-handed.

Nottingham Forest and West Ham have high hopes for this new season and should be expected to put up a good game as they chase three important points in round two.

West Ham are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 12 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.2 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 17 goals, and while West Ham claimed one clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.7 goals per match.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction

It has the look of a season in which a relegation battle will play a major part for Nottingham Forest, who naturally dream of extending their stay in the Premier League.

West Ham managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring ten time and letting in six.

West Ham go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, and if they can build some momentum early on, perhaps even throw their hat in the ring for a place in Europe.

West Ham and Nottingham Forest seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues on Sunday, as we aim for both teams to score.
