Previously, West Ham had lost three consecutive games and now they managed to win after an unfavorable streak. Nottingham Forest will face Arsenal away in their next match. Based on recent form and head-to-head results where Arsenal won 3 out of 5 matches, Nottingham Forest face a tough challenge. Arsenal's strong form with 3 wins out of 5 may worry the team. West Ham will play against Tottenham Hotspur in their next game. In the last matches, Tottenham has lost against West Ham two times. West Ham's recent form was poor before this match, while Tottenham's form has been variable with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5 matches. The AI prediction of a balanced game was partially incorrect, as the game was largely one-sided in the end. This game underscores the unpredictable nature of football despite statistical advantages. West Ham's victory could signal a shift in their momentum for the upcoming fixtures. For Nottingham Forest, this defeat highlights their need for more clinical finishing. They need to improve their attacking output before their next game.
