West Ham vs Nottingham Forest Premier League Prediction Match Details
With two games left, struggling West Ham will welcome top-five battling Nottingham Forest to the London Stadium on Sunday. Can the Hammers continue their historic home record against Forest?
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham are experiencing a disappointing Premier League campaign, but the Hammers boosted their campaign by ending an eight-game winless streak last weekend, including defeats to Brighton, Liverpool, Wolves, and Newcastle. Graham Potter picked up his fourth win in 16 Premier League games in charge of the Hammers by impressively beating Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford, thanks to Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus. The result was the first time the Hammers' defense kept a clean sheet since the start of April, with five of their last six matches producing both teams to score.
Since the arrival of Graham Potter at the Hammer dugout, the team are winless in its last four Premier League matches at the London Stadium, drawing three and losing one. The Irons have only managed two home Premier League clean sheets this season, with each of their last three home games producing both teams to score. Each of their last three Premier League home games has resulted in a draw.

Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have had a downturn in form lately, with the dip in form seeing them lose their spot in next season’s Champions League. Forest are now considered an underdog in the race for the top five after Nuno Espirito Santo's men's hopes for Champions League qualification were dealt a huge blow last weekend. They were held to a 2-2 draw against Leicester City at the City Ground, leaving the Tricky Trees with just one win in six Premier League matches. The Tricky Trees are winless in their last four Premier League games, drawing two in a row and also losing the other two games. They have conceded at least a goal in each of their last seven consecutive games. Forest begins this round sitting just a point outside of the Champions League spot qualification.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are enjoying an impressive road form, as the Tricky Trees have only lost once in their last four Premier League games. It is worth noting that each of the Tricky Trees' last six away games has resulted in both teams scoring.
Forest quartet up for Premier League annual awards.
