- 诺丁汉森林队在最近三场客场对阵下半场球队的比赛中,从可能的9分中拿下了7分。
- 西汉姆联队在过去的九场比赛中只赢了一场。
- 诺丁汉森林队在最近七场客场比赛中都丢了球。
锤子重回胜利之路
西汉姆上周末战胜了分心的曼联,但在本赛季的最后两场比赛中没有任何实质性的比赛,诺丁汉森林队可能会重新开始他们对欧洲足球的追求。
在老特拉福德的那场胜利结束了铁锤队连续八场无赢的比赛,包括输给布莱顿、利物浦、狼队和纽卡斯尔。他们在这场比赛中唯一的得分是对阵排名第十或更低的球队,所以狡猾的树队可能能够摆脱最近的糟糕状态。
狡猾的树可以在星期天走出树林
努诺·埃斯皮里托·桑托;中国队现在可能在前四名的争夺中处于劣势,但欧洲足球仍在森林队的谈判桌上,周日重返胜利之路将是他们与欧洲大陆有希望的切尔西队最后一天比赛前的巨大推动力。
加里波底人赢得了与西汉姆联队的最后两次交锋,并在过去三场客场对阵下半场球队的比赛中获得了7分,因此他们在伦敦体育场取得关键胜利的价值很高。
伍德将为高得分比赛做出贡献
不过,诺丁汉森林队在客场的最后七场比赛中已经失球,他们最后一场客场胜利是2比1战胜托特纳姆热刺队。西汉姆在主场的最后两场比赛中只进了一球,所以重复2-1的比分很有吸引力。
Chris Wood;上周末,他本赛季在英超联赛中的第20个进球帮助诺丁汉森林队获得了一分,并在森林队中进球;11月,新西兰队以3比0战胜西汉姆联队,因此,这位经验丰富的新西兰前锋将在周日的比赛中取得进球。

Hammers return to winning ways
West Ham picked up a win over a distracted Manchester United last weekend but with nothing of substance to play for in the final two games of the season, Nottingham Forest could revive their quest for European football.
That victory at Old Trafford ended a run of eight winless games for the Hammers, including defeats to Brighton, Liverpool, Wolves and Newcastle. Their only points in this run have come against teams placed tenth or lower, so the Tricky Trees may be able to break out of their recent poor spell.
Tricky Trees can get out of the woods on Sunday
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side may now be underdogs for a top-four berth, but European football is still on the table for Forest, and a return to winning ways on Sunday would be a huge boost ahead of their final-day clash with fellow continental hopefuls Chelsea.
The Garibaldis have won their last two meetings with West Ham and have taken seven points from their last three away games against bottom-half sides, so they look good value for a crucial win at the London Stadium.
Wood to contribute to high-scoring game
Nottingham Forest have conceded in their last seven on the road, though, and their last away win was a 2-1 victory at Tottenham. West Ham have scored exactly once in their last two at home, so a repeat of that 2-1 scoreline appeals.
Chris Wood’s 20th Premier League goal of the season helped Nottingham Forest to a point last weekend and he found the net in Forest’s 3-0 win over West Ham in November, so back the veteran New Zealand striker for the scoresheet on Sunday.
