West Ham vs Nottm Forest Betting Tips: Back Goals Wager With 83% Return

See our West Ham vs Nottm Forest betting tips for the only Premier League game on Tuesday night – which is a huge clash in store, with both sides struggling this season and battling for survival. 

As the old saying goes – it’s the classic ‘Three-Pointer’ that also has added sub-slots with both mangers – Sean Dyche and Nuno Espirito Santo – being under big pressure in the Premier League sack race betting market.

So, in a tricky game to call – which team will come out with the bragging rights and give their manager a bit of breathing space?

West Ham vs Nottingham Forest – Does Nuno Have One Game To Save His Job?

The Hammers are having a bad season – FACT.

And this was compounded with added humiliation of losing to Wolves in their last game – a side who hadn’t won in the league all season.

As a result, West Ham are 18th in the table with just 14 points and the bookies are making them as short as 1/3 in the Premier League relegation odds market.

All this has, of course, also piled a stack of pressure on their boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

With the next West Ham manager odds market getting plenty of interest in recent weeks – that sees former head coach Slaven Bilic one of the fancies to take over.

There is also an added sub-plot to Tuesday’s game as Nuno will also be returning to the club he used to manage – knowing a defeat to his former employers would probably see him get another p45.

In short, there’s a lot to take in and a lot at stake.

Especially as Forest are not doing much better in the league too – with 18 points (17th), with no win in four.

Which has also plonked pressure on Sean Dyche in the next Premier League sack race odds market.

So, in a game that tensions could boil over – what are the best West Ham vs Nottm Forest betting tips to take into Tuesday’s big relegation battle?

West Ham Haven’t Won In Nine 

Having lost to fellow strugglers Wolves in their last game, West Ham are now on a run of NINE games without a win.

With their last victory coming in a 3-2 home win over Burnley in early November – yet another side at the foot of the table.

During this run of nine games, the Hammers have lost five and drawn four.

Plus have also leaked 18 goals during this period.

While at home in the league this season, West Ham have won just two (lost seven and drawn one).

Nottingham Forest On Four-Game Run Without a Win

Then, when looking at the current form of Nottm Forest, it’s not as bad as West Ham – but it’s getting there.

Forest haven’t won in four no, so will be looking to stop the rot before it gets any worse and, of course, ease the pressure on boss Sean Dyche.

They’ve lost their last four to Villa, Everton, City and Fulham – with their last win against Spurs in the middle of December.

But Forest have only two away league wins to their name this season, with two draws and losing six.

On a plus for Forest though – from their last 14 games, they’ve lost six (four recently).

Therefore, their longer form gives them more hope of a return to better than West Ham.

West Ham and Nottm Forest Don’t Draw Many Games When Playing Each Other

So, in a tough game to call – with both sides out-of-form and playing as bad as each other – the wise move could be to side away from the match odds.

Despite being the home side West Ham are the 11/5 second favourites, with Forest 11/8 and the draw 9/4 – which is sure to be popular.

However, – did you know?

These sides haven’t drawn a match in their last 14 H2H’s.

With their last stalemate coming in October 2003 in an Old Division One clash at Upton Park.

Meaning, if recent history is backed-up – we should get a result one way, or another here.

West Ham vs Nottm Forest Betting Tips: H2H’s Suggest Goals 

Therefore, in a game that really could go either way – the way we are going to play our West Ham vs Nottm Forest betting tips is in the goals markets.

Recent H2H’s tell us there are generally goals when these two play.

The Hammers beat Forest 3-0 at the City Ground earlier this season in the league.

While FIVE of the last six meetings have also seen OVER 2.5 GOALS scored.

Which works out at an 83% return.

This is also backed up with ALL of the last five league H2H’s played at West Ham having 3+ goals.

So, with this in mind, the 10/11 on Tuesday’s West Ham vs Nottm Forest game having OVER 2.5 GOALS looks fair value.

West Ham and Nottm Forest Top Scorers This Season 

Finally, if you like having a wager in the scoring markets, then West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen is an obvious call.

The England man has netted six goals this season for the Hammers and can be backed at 12/5 to score anytime or 13/2 to get the first goal.

While Forest’s Igor Jesus is their top scorer over all this season with seven goals.

The Brazilian can also be backed at 13/2 to score the first goal, or 13/5 at anytime.
