After sitting third in the Premier League for the majority of 2025, the Tricky Trees have endured a torrid time that has seen them pick up just five points from their last six Premier League outings. Their 2-2 draw with already-relegated Leicester City last weekend was particularly disappointing, as it further dented their already dwindling Champions League aspirations. The match was marred by controversy when owner Evangelos Marinakis confronted manager Nuno Espírito Santo on the pitch shortly after the final whistle. Despite the unsavoury incident, the point did secure European qualification for the first time in 29 years for Forest. They currently sit seventh in the Premier League with 62 points from their 36 matches. West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly.

The Tricky Trees have conceded in their previous six games and last kept a clean sheet in their 1-0 win over Manchester United on Matchday 30. The Reds need the points if they are to have any chance of making the top five. That means they will need to be more attack minded than they would perhaps like to be and this increases the chances of goals at both ends of the pitch. For their part, the Hammers have scored in their last six successive matches and in four of their last five at the London Stadium.

The striker put the Tricky Trees 2-1 ahead with a diving header on 56 minutes. With Forest needing the points against the Hammers, Wood – as Forest’s most likely goal source – is worth backing to find the net again. Tip – Back Chris Wood to score anytime at 5/4 with BetMGM
