Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction, Preview, Lineups and Team News | Premier League, November 2, 2024

Preview

  • Date: Saturday, November 2
  • Kick-off Time: 3:00 pm GMT
  • Venue: The City Ground, Nottingham

Nottingham Forest and West Ham will be coming up against each other on Saturday in matchday 10 of the 2024/25 Premier League season. Nottingham Forest has been on a roll this season, sitting in seventh place with 16 points from nine games. West Ham, on the other hand, is six spots below with 11 points from nine matches. The Nottingham Forest vs West Ham contest will be a close one to predict and will be an exciting watch for the supporters.

Nottingham Forest will be content with how the recent matches have played out. In the last six matches, Forest has managed three wins accompanied by two draws and a defeat. Having finished 17th in the league last campaign, no one expected the club to be in seventh place after 9 rounds. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have scored seven goals in the last five matches and are also ranked second away from this season.

West Ham’s recent results paint a disappointing picture for the fanbase. The Hammers have accumulated two victories, a draw, and three defeats in the last six games. During this period, West Ham has scored nine goals and conceded 15. Nonetheless, West Ham defeated Manchester United on the last matchday. Defensive worries have been an issue for West Ham, having not kept a clean sheet in eight matches. The club has scored nine goals in the last five matches.

Key Players to Watch in Nottingham Forest vs West Ham

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)

The West Ham winger began the season as the centre forward for West Ham but has now reverted to his preferred right-wing spot. Bowen is currently one of the most talented English players and has already registered three goals and two assists in the Premier League. The former Hull City man has started all the Premier League matches so far this season and will once again be the go-to man for the Hammers on Saturday.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (Nottingham Forest)

Statistics do not paint a fair reflection of Callum Hudson-Odoi’s importance to Nottingham Forest. Once regarded as one of the most talented youngsters in Europe, Hudson-Odoi has managed to regain some of his spark at Forest. The former Chelsea winger is still only 23 years old and has more than enough time on his side to be one of the most lethal forwards in the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction

There is little to separate Nottingham Forest and West Ham United in the Premier League table and in terms of collective and individual quality. A draw seems to be the most likely outcome.

Predicted Score: Nottingham Forest 2-2 West Ham
