SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Nottingham Forest’s clash with West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Nottingham Forest vs West Ham (Sunday, 14:00)
Two teams who have made contrasting starts to their seasons square off in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, as Nottingham Forest face West Ham.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s hosts brilliantly dismantled Brentford 3-1 on the opening weekend of the season and they have since come from behind to claim a 1-1 draw away at Crystal Palace.
West Ham, on the other hand, have made a woeful start to their campaign, losing each of their opening three league and cup matches of the season.
Therefore, it’s no surprise to see Nottingham Forest chalked up as general 4/6 shots with most bookmakers on Sunday afternoon.
However, we can back the hosts to score two or more goals at 17/20 on Ladbrokes, and that looks like an attractive alternative angle of attack.
As already mentioned, Forest fired in three goals when putting Brentford to the sword at the City Ground a fortnight ago.
Tricky Trees boss Nuno has since made some eye-catching additions to his squad, so the home team look well placed to heap more misery on West Ham.
The Hammers fell to a humbling defeat in their season opener when being swept aside 3-0 by newly-promoted Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Things then went from bad to worse for Graham Potter and his side when they were thrashed 5-1 by Chelsea the London Stadium last Friday night.
What's more, West Ham have since crashed out of the EFL Cup, suffering a late collapse in a 3-2 loss away at Wolves on Tuesday night.
As such, confidence is bound to be low in the West Ham camp ahead of this week’s trip to the City Ground, not to mention the the capital club have lost on each of their previous three visits to this venue.
It’s also worth noting that the Hammers have conceded two or more goals in each of their last four top-flight tussles with Forest, and I see no reason to oppose a repeat on Sunday at a value 17/20 with Ladbrokes.
