West Ham – Nottingham Forest: crucial bottom-of-the-table clash 
On Tuesday West Ham host Nottingham Forest at the London Stadium in a vital relegation scrap. Both teams are on a bad run and need points.
West Ham: a worrying winless streak 
West Ham are in a mess. The Hammers were thumped 3-0 by Wolverhampton and haven’t won in the Premier League since November.
They’re sat in the relegation zone and will still be there after this round no matter what happens. The numbers are ugly, especially defensively. West Ham still haven’t kept a clean sheet this season and concede too many goals at home.
Pressure is mounting on Nuno Espirito Santo, who faces Nottingham Forest — a club he used to manage.
Nottingham Forest: poor run but some breathing room in the table 
Nottingham Forest have lost four straight league games. Beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa, the Tricky Trees ended the year on a sour note.
Despite that, Forest still have a small cushion above the drop zone. Their away form is disappointing though, with several matches on the road without scoring.
Forest won at the London Stadium last season and can exploit West Ham’s current troubles to try and nick a result.
Probable line-ups
West Ham : Areola, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Julio, Scarles, Soucek, Potts, Bowen, Fernandes, Summerville, Wilson
Nottingham Forest : Sels, Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Anderson, Dominguez, Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Jesus
What to watch
- West Ham are running out of wins.
- The Hammers’ defence is shaky at home.
- Nottingham Forest are on a losing streak.
- Big game for both teams.
Football Tips West Ham vs Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest to win
West Ham lack confidence and concede plenty. Nottingham Forest are struggling too, but look more solid collectively. The visitors have a chance to take.
First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot of the moment — not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it usually isn’t. Yes, you can lose. It’s unavoidable at some point.
- Best approach: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — that rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, annoying you or stressing you out, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- At the end of the day, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and it won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment on our part
Our tips don’t form a contract. They have no legal standing. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But line-ups (like West Ham’s) change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you are. If it isn’t, that’s on you, not us.
