Grab £40 in free bets with SBK ahead West Ham and Forest’s tense basement battle

Jan 5, 2026 - 17:00

It’s a huge six-pointer at the bottom of the Premier League as West Ham look to shrink the four-point gap between themselves and Nottingham Forest.

Ahead of a crucial game at the London Stadium, SBK are offering all new customers the chance to net £40 in free bets. All you need to do is sign up, deposit and then bet £10 on any sports market offering odds of evens or better.

After both teams were briefly boosted by new managerial appointments, both are coming into this one in poor form. The hosts have picked up just one point in their last five and haven’t won in nine. They also became the first team to lose to Wolves this past weekend.

Forest aren’t faring much better – they’ve lost five of their last six but did at least win the other game in that stretch, 3-0 against Tottenham.

Scrappy affair predicted

With both teams desperate for points and lacking in confidence, the bookies can see tensions boiling over and cards to be dished out. The result could go either way.
