Prediction: 2-0
West Ham
Nottingham Forest will be aiming to climb to the Champions League berth when they welcome West Ham United to their City Ground on Matchday 3. The Reds outplayed Brentford 3-1 in their first home game of the process, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of West Ham’s visit. Midfielder Nicolas Dominguez remains in the recovery room, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. As always, top scorer Chris Wood will lead the line for the hosts.
Meanwhile, the Hammers made a slow start to the season, with the team experiencing all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Sunderland (0-3) and Chelsea (1-5). Considering that the visitors are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Nottingham, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. Pacey winger Crysencio Summerville continues to miss out with injury for the capital club.
