How both teams go into Nottingham Forest vs West Ham

Nottingham Forest got their 2025-26 campaign off to the best possible start in the Premier League. The Tricky Trees were excellent in their 3-1 win over Brentford on the opening weekend, buoyed by a busy summer in the transfer window. Boosted by their promotion to the Europa League, the Tricky Trees have wasted no time in bolstering their squad. But they’ll need to make sure they keep focus on the Premier League too. The win over Brentford also saw a four-game winless run at home come to an end, with a poor finish to 2024-25.

Graham Potter’s first full season at West Ham didn’t start well. The Hammers were well beaten by newly-promoted Sunderland away from home, offering little in their 3-0 defeat. West Ham had actually ended the 2024-25 campaign strong on the road, winning their final two away games including one at Old Trafford. But throughout their history, the Hammers have been liable to go on losing streaks away from home.
