Nottingham Forest v West Ham United Betting Tips
Both Teams To Score
Both Teams to Score @ 20/23
Recent Premier League meetings between Forest and West Ham have often produced goals, with four of the last five seeing 3+ goals scored, including a 2-3 West Ham win in November 2023 and a 2-1 Forest victory in May 2025. Forest’s attack, led by Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White, is potent, while West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá and Jarrod Bowen have shown they can find the net.
Despite Forest’s strong home defensive record, the Hammers’ attacking intent makes both teams to score a strong pick at 20/23.
Chris Wood To Score Anytime
Chris Wood to Score Anytime @ 11/8
Chris Wood has been a nemesis for West Ham, netting eight Premier League goals against them, his joint-highest tally against any opponent. With 13 league goals at the City Ground since the start of last season, only Mo Salah has scored more at home.
Wood’s brace in Forest’s 3-1 win over Brentford highlights his form, and with a leaky West Ham defence to start the season, he’s a prime candidate to score at 11/8.
Lucas Paquetá To Score Anytime
Lucas Paquetá to Score Anytime @ 5/1
West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá has been in scintillating form, scoring in each of his last two games, including a goal in the 5-1 loss to Chelsea and another in the 3-2 EFL Cup defeat to Wolves.
Paquetá’s goal-scoring threat makes him a key figure for the Hammers, and he is well-placed to find the net anytime at 5/1.
