West Ham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
West Ham is once again on the back foot in its battle against Premier League relegation as it meets Nottingham Forest at home at 10:00 am ET on Saturday.
The Hammers have slipped back into the bottom three relegation spots after a 2-0 defeat away at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
But in West Ham vs Nottingham Forest, it takes on the team with the worst away record in the EPL – with Steve Cooper’s visiting side having won just once, drawn three times and lost seven times on the road.
However, Nottingham Forest sits in 13th place – five spots above West Ham, which is having a hugely disappointing league season after a major spending spree last summer.
Meanwhile, West Ham has won four times at home while drawing twice and losing five times.
Nottingham Forest certainly gained a big result last weekend when it held high-flying Manchester at home in a 1-1 draw.
Another draw at +260 seems likely in London this weekend unless West Ham can overcome its problems scoring goals.
Significantly, new £15 million striker Danny Ings – signed from Aston Villa in January – is slated to make his first start for the team in West Ham vs Nottingham Forest.
Ings is priced as the +160 joint favorite to find the net – and at +350 to score first or last in the West Ham vs Nottingham Forest odds.
Meanwhile, his Italian teammate Gianluca Scamacca is also priced at +160 but is recovering from injury and, therefore, may not start.
West Ham vs Nottingham Forest Picks: Danny Ings to Score +160
Leeds United vs Southampton Prediction
A huge relegation “six-pointer,” takes place between the bottom two clubs in Leeds United vs Southampton on Saturday.
Leeds United, in 19th place, hopes to have new coach Javi Gracia in the dug-out.
His task will certainly be to improve upon a run of 10 games without a win – six defeats and four draws.
This includes defeats in its last two games by 2-0 at Manchester United and then 1-0 away by fellow strugglers Everton last weekend.

Bottom-placed Southampton will be heading to the north lifted by an impressive 1-0 win away against Chelsea last weekend.
That ended a three-game losing streak and earned an appointment until, the end of the season for temporary Spanish coach Ruben Selles.
For a struggling side, Southampton has a decent away record after claiming 12 of its 18-point tally on the road this season – with four wins and eight defeats.
Moreover, Leeds has struggled at home with three wins, four draws and four defeats.
But it will be hoping that the fabled “new manager” bounce can inspire the beginnings of a fight against relegation in Leeds United vs Southampton.
Furthermore, the famously intense Elland Road atmosphere will also be a factor in this Leeds vs Southampton prediction.
However, Southampton looks perfectly capable of claiming a point with the odds offering promising value. in the EPL odds.
Leeds vs Southampton Picks: Draw +255
Tottenham vs Chelsea Prediction
Two ferocious London rivals meet in Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea at 8:30 am ET on Sunday.
Although these teams are based on opposite sides of the city, their rivalry is bitter and intense.
This time, it will be a particularly important fixture for Chelsea coach Graham Potter.

He is under severe pressure after an unimpressive start to his reign in charge of the club with just two in the last 14 EPL fixtures ahead of Tottenham vs Chelsea.
And the prospect of losing to Tottenham will be abhorrent to Chelsea’s demanding fans simply because their team has such a good record against the north London outfit.
Since the start of the EPL in 1992, Chelsea has lost just seven times in 61 meetings of these clubs in past Tottenham vs Chelsea picks.
However, Chelsea is in an unfamiliar 10th place after winning just once in the calendar year – and losing 1-0 at home against bottom club Southampton last weekend.

Tottenham was lifted by its 2-0 derby win at home against West Ham last weekend – which atoned for a 4-1 defeat at Leicester the previous weekend.
Particularly, there was much excitement when the partnership of Harry Kane and Hueng-Min Son rediscovered its touch when they combined for Son to score the second goal.
That made it three wins in the last four and hoisted the team into fourth place in the EPL.
There is a huge amount at stake in this derby. That makes it likely the points will be shared – with good value odds on offer – for this Premier League prediction.
