Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle Prediction 10.02.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 10.02.2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
• Venue: City Ground (Nottingham)

Nottingham Forest ended their two-game losing streak with a positive result and a draw against Burnemouth in the previous round. The fight for survival is the current reality for this club, with only 2 points more than Everton, which is in the danger zone. Luton have one point less. Definitely, Nottingham has a small advantage compared to these two teams, but they need a little better results in continuity, especially on the home field, where they have lost 5 of the last 6 matches played.

Towards the end of last year, West Ham was one of the favorites for European competitions, however, since the beginning of January, they have been in worse form and in the last 6 matches, including all competitions, there is still no triumph. The previous defeat at Old Trafford 3-0 turned on the warning lights because the defense, which has worked quite well so far, is failing the tests. West Ham have taken an equal number of points this season at home and away.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

With quite different motives regarding placement, these two teams enter the next duel. Nottingham has to score points at home in order to further increase the chances of defending their status in the elite, while on the other hand, West Ham is working to reach at least a position in the Europa League or the Conference League. The club from London has an advantage in quality, but the form is not impressive. Nottingham conceded 41 goals in 23 matches played, West Ham has 72 goals so far, which is more than 3 goals on average. In the previous direct match, West Ham won 3-2 and from this match we expect something similar, and goals on both sides.
