West Ham vs Nottingham Forest prediction, stats, tips & team news | OneFootball

West Ham United host Nottingham Forest at the London Stadium on Sunday 18th May at 2:15pm in the penultimate gameweek of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign. While West Ham are currently loitering in 17th, Forest are pushing for Champions League qualification, with each point likely to be significant in these final games. The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League.

West Ham to win

West Ham haven’t lost to Nottingham Forest at home since 1997, winning seven of their last eight games against Forest on their own soil.

BTTS No

Only one of the two sides have scored in four of their previous five meetings, with the only anomaly being a 3-2 West Ham win in 2023. However, with Forest looking to secure Champions League football and West Ham looking to sure up their defence, a low scoring game could be on the cards.

How both teams go into West Ham vs Nottingham Forest

West Ham are without a win since the end of February, beating Leicester City 2-0 off the back of their 0-1 victory against Arsenal, where it looked like the Hammers could be turning a corner. Instead, they are now eight games without a win under Graham Potter, only picking up four points from a possible 24. With their safety now secure, Potter will hope his side can play for some pride in the final games, as he plans ahead for next season.

Meanwhile, Forest still have it all to play for. Despite only winning two of their last six Premier League games, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side still find themselves in the race for Champions League football with just two games to go. It could all be up for grabs on the final day against Chelsea if Forest can take all three points against West Ham.

West Ham team news

West Ham will remain without Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio when they face Forest, but Edson Alvarez could be back in time for this one.

Nottingham Forest news

Callum Hudson-Odoi has been ruled out with a hamstring problem. Murillo is undergoing checks and being assessed for a potential hamstring issue picked up against Crystal Palace.

West Ham vs Nottingham Forest head-to-head
