Prediction: 2-0
West Ham
Saturday’s football game at the City Ground pits together Nottingham Forest and West Ham United, the two teams who were beaten by Newcastle United and Arsenal respectively at the weekend. The Reds are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against West Ham. All Sangare, Boly, and Aina are back from international duty, while both Chris Wood and Gonzalo Montiel are out of contention with injuries.
The Hammers, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 6-0 loss to Arsenal, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. Both Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue Nottingham Forest defeated West Ham United thanks to Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal.
