Nottingham Forest have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League so far this season.
The East Midlands side could end the day in the Champions League spots on Saturday if they are able to record a third successive win when West Ham travel to the City Ground.
The pressure was eased on Julen Lopetegui last Sunday at the expense of Erik ten Hag, who was sacked after West Ham’s 2-1 win over Man United at the London Stadium.
Odds
Forest will be a popular selection on the moneyline at +114 this weekend. West Ham and the draw are both priced up at +252.

Nottingham Forest vs. West Ham Prediction
Forest’s start to the season has been eye-catching to say the least. However, they could be vulnerable against a low-block, which will be used by West Ham this Saturday.
Therefore, there could be value in the points being shared at the City Ground on Saturday, especially if Chris Wood isn’t fit enough to start the match.
