Chris Sutton, Paul Merson, and Robbie Savage have all made predictions for Nottingham Forest’s visit to the London Stadium.
Forest will look to build on their 2-0 win over Aston Villa when they face West Ham at 2 p.m. on Sunday. While they are still unbeaten at the City Ground, they have only won once in six away games.
That victory came in September against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Despite the fact that the Hammers have gone winless in their last four league games, David Moyes’ side has been tipped to turn things around.
Sutton and Savage both predicted a 2-1 victory for the hosts.
West Ham have now lost four league games in a row, and they are “falling away a bit after starting the season so well,” Sutton told BBC Sport. “I don’t think they’ve been playing that badly, but David Moyes has been unhappy with the way they’ve conceded some of the key goals.”
“I have a feeling they’ll steal this one, though.” Nottingham Forest’s away form has improved significantly, and they will most likely try to keep things tight, but West Ham will find a way to win.”
West Ham 2-1 Nottingham Forest, according to Sutton.
Meanwhile, Savage told teamTALK: “While their home form kept them up last season, no team in the Premier League has lost more games away from home than Nottingham Forest – 17 since the start of last season.” I believe the score will be 18, as West Ham are strong at home. I believe they must win under David Moyes.” As a result, I believe both teams will score, but West Ham will win.
West Ham 2-1 Nottingham Forest, according to Savage.
Merson believes Forest will fail to score at the London Stadium. “West Ham United are having a bad run right now,” he told Sportskeeda. That’s strange given how formidable they appeared a few weeks ago.” They’ve lost four of their last five matches overall. Despite their recent slump, I’m going with the Hammers here.
“They haven’t been able to break their recent losing streak.” However, this game against Forest is an important one for them to get their season back on track. I still believe the Hammers are capable of defeating Steve Cooper’s side.
“With Lucas Paqueta and Edson Alvarez returning to the mix, they should be able to cruise to a comfortable win here. West Ham 2-0 Nottingham Forest, according to Merson.
