Now that we are into the second half of the 2025/26 campaign, the action continues until Tuesday and a true Premier League relegation treble will take center stage.
However, while West Ham could host Nottingham Forest in east London for a season-defining clash, Scottish giants Rangers are also hoping to extend their stellar recent run.
For those of you looking to keep up during the week, we’ve taken a look at a couple of Tuesday’s most intriguing betting tips.
20:00 West Ham-Nottingham Forest
Starting with the hosts, while Nuno Espírito Santo could have arrived at the London Stadium only a couple of months ago, the former Nottingham Forest manager already finds his job hanging by a thread. Rightly under heavy scrutiny over the weekend, as they were blown away thanks to a 3-0 draw against a Wolves team sitting bottom of the table, the pressure on Santo’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point. Sitting firmly in the relegation zone, the Hammers have broken a number of unwanted records this season and are rightly considered a leading relegation contender in 2026. Without a win in any of their previous nine consecutive Premier League appearances, West Ham have also earned a reputation for their glaring defensive problems. In fact, West Ham, who have already scored 41 goals in the top flight so far this season, have the worst defensive figure among England’s elite.
Although Nottingham Forest might have enjoyed an immediate boost following Sean Dyche’s arrival at the City Ground in October, the Reds have returned to their feet on the ground in recent weeks. Completely outplayed at Aston Villa over the weekend when they fell to a routine 3-1 defeat, Tuesday’s guests are once again looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone. Closing out 2025 with a dismal 2-0 home defeat against Everton, Forest have now lost each of their previous four consecutive Premier League appearances by an aggregate score of 8-2. The Reds, who endured their worst run of form since Dyche’s arrival, also suffered a shock 3-0 defeat when facing West Ham in their top-flight reverse fixture at the City Ground on August 31. However, facing a Hammers defense that has broken many unwanted records, Forest should smell a golden opportunity to claim immediate revenge in the capital.

20:00 Rangers against Aberdeen
While Rangers might have found themselves at the center of another public crisis when proceedings began in August, the Scottish giants have roared back in striking fashion. After a sensational second-half comeback against arch-rivals Celtic over the weekend and ultimately claiming a 3-1 win, Danny Rohl’s men will be looking to make another statement here. Closing out 2025 with a 2-1 win against St. Mirren, the former Sheffield Wednesday manager has seen his team win each of their three previous Premiership appearances by an aggregate score of 6-2. Knowing they can move closer to first place on Tuesday night, Rangers have also not suffered a single home defeat at Ibrox since mid-September. Enjoying what has become their most fruitful period of the 2025/26 campaign, Rohl’s side will be sure to establish a potential title run at home.
Starting the New Year with another worrying performance as they lost 1-0 at Falkirk, Aberdeen find themselves at the heart of what has become an important Premiership routine. Interim boss Peter Leven coming out of the top half of the table has a real job on his hands at Pittodrie. Closing out 2025 with a routine 2-0 defeat at Hibernian, the Dons have now collected just one point in any of their five previous appearances in all competitions. By closing their Europa Conference League adventure with a 3-0 win against Sparta Prague, Tuesday’s guests have also earned a reputation for their glaring problems away from home. Indeed, the Scots have lost their last four consecutive meetings away from Pittodrie by an aggregate score of 9-1 and will be more than aware that they face a monumental challenge at Ibrox in midweek.
