Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Prediction (31.08.2025)

There is tension between the owner and coach Espirito Santo at Nottingham, who still has the support of the fans. However, statements and rumors suggest that it is only a matter of time before Santo is dismissed, and perhaps they are just waiting for another poor result. So far, however, there has been none in the new season. Up to this point, Nottingham has performed well. They won at home against Brentford, and then drew 1:1 in their away match against Crystal Palace.

West Ham did not have a good last season, and they are starting the new one even worse. They are at the bottom after the first two rounds, suffering heavy losses in both. First, they lost 0:3 away to the newcomer Sunderland, and then 1:5 at home to Chelsea. To make matters worse, on Tuesday they also lost 2:3 away to Wolverhampton in the cup tournament. Graham Potter is currently the coach with the fewest points earned at the helm of the club since the Premier League was established, which puts his position under serious question if things do not improve.

Despite the supposed tension between the owner and coach, Nottingham is starting the season relatively well. However, there is also no shortage of tension at West Ham, and it may even be greater after the team’s three losses so far. Given the performances of both teams up to this point, I would choose nothing other than a victory for Nottingham.
