So, I’ve delved into the angles and pieced together the most compelling Bet Builder tips for a clash that promises drama, tension, and maybe a surprise or two. Ready to get stuck in? LEARN MORE.

With their Champions League dreams now hanging by a thread, Nottingham Forest face what is a must-win showdown when they travel to West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

While Nuno Espirito Santo might have seen his squad cement their spot as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages this season, Forest are enduring what has become a recent wobble and will travel to east London with a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders.

Managing to claim a much-welcomed boost last weekend as they clinched a 2-0 victory away at Manchester United, the Hammers are desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on.

In what is a season-defining contest on Sunday afternoon, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive West Ham vs Nottingham Forest Bet Builder Tips.

Make or break for Forest

Only just clinging to their Premier League status last season and dealing with some public financial issues behind the scenes, Nottingham Forest have enjoyed a remarkable rise this time around.

Spending the whole of the year battling it out at the heart of an iconic Champions League charge, Sunday’s guests have broken a string of records and are rightfully regarded as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages.

However, eventually forced to settle for a 2-2 stalemate at home against bitter local rivals Leicester last weekend as they missed out on a golden opportunity, Santo’s side face what is a season-defining contest here.

Despite mustering just a single win from any of their previous six Premier League appearances, Nottingham Forest will certainly be excited by their most recent showdown against the Hammers.

Storming their way to a routine 3-0 romp when they welcomed West Ham to the City Ground for their reverse Premier League meeting on November 2nd, the former Wolves boss will be desperately seeking a repeat performance in east London.

Wood looking to fire Forest back into the Champions League spots

Enjoying what has been a remarkable fairytale this season, a huge part of Forest’s success has come thanks to their striking talisman.

Once again finding the net against Leicester last weekend, Chris Wood has been one of the Premier League’s most lethal marksmen this year and is enjoying a career-best campaign.

In fact, recording 20 Premier League goals in his 34 appearances so far this season, the New Zealand international is one of just four top-flight stars who has breached the 20-goal mark.

With a goal conversion rate of 32%, that tally surpasses that likes of Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak.

Getting on the scoresheet when Forest welcomed the Hammers to Nottingham back in November, Wood will be confident of testing a West Ham defence that has recorded just a single clean sheet at the London Stadium so far this calendar year.

Hammers desperately seeking some stability

Securing a 2-0 victory away at Europa League finalists Manchester United last weekend, that result certainly eased some of the mounting pressure on Graham Potter’s shoulders.

However, while the former Brighton boss might have only arrived at the London Stadium back in January, Sunday’s hosts have failed to find any real fluidity.

Despite drawing a line under their eight-match winless rut at Old Trafford last time out, Potter has a major headache over his side’s extended issues on home soil.

Last seen in east London playing out a 1-1 stalemate against bitter foes Tottenham, West Ham have mustered just a single win from any of their previous seven Premier League matchups in front of their own supporters – a run that stems back to January 14th.

Likewise, the Hammers have recorded just 20 points from their 18 matchups at the London Stadium this season and they hold the fourth-worst home record among England’s elite.
