• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
• Venue: City Ground (Nottingham)

Nottingham Forest broke their two-game losing streak by securing a draw against Bournemouth in the previous round. The club is currently battling for survival, holding a slim lead of 2 points over Everton, who is in the danger zone, and one point more than Luton. While Nottingham Forest does have a slight edge over these two teams, they need to improve their consistency, particularly in home games where they’ve suffered defeats in 5 of the last 6 matches.

West Ham was considered a top contender for European competitions towards the end of last year. However, since the start of January, their form has dipped. In their last six matches across all competitions, they have yet to secure a victory. The recent 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford has raised concerns, especially as their previously reliable defense has been underperforming. This season, West Ham has earned an equal number of points in both home and away games.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

These two teams, each with their own distinct motivations for positioning, are set to engage in their next face-off. Nottingham must secure points on home turf to boost their chances of retaining their elite status, while West Ham aims for at least a Europa League or Conference League spot. The London-based club may have a quality edge, but their current form leaves much to be desired. Nottingham has let in 41 goals in the 23 matches they’ve played, while West Ham has scored 72, averaging more than three goals per game. West Ham bested Nottingham 3-2 in their previous one-on-one encounter. We anticipate a similar outcome in this match, with goals expected from both teams.
