Betting tip and prediction for this match between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal

The best prediction for Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal in the Premier League is an Arsenal win. It is true that the visiting team travels to the “enemy” territory; however, Nottingham Forest has been displaying rather inconsistent football, and poor results have occurred frequently. On the other hand, Arsenal comes from eight victories in their last ten official matches, indicating they should be quite confident. Therefore, it is expected that the Londoners will showcase their quality on the pitch and ultimately secure three points.

Nottingham Forest comes into this match after a defeat on penalties against Wrexham in an EFL Cup game. In their last match in this Premier League, the hosts defeated West Ham United 1-2. The team coached by Sean Dyche is expected to maintain their usual formation of 4-3-3, relying on a front line consisting of Omari Hutchinson, Igor Jesus, and Callum Hudson-Odoi, players that provide versatility and the ability to unbalance the opponent in the final third. In midfield, Morgan Gibbs-White stands out as a key player in orchestrating the offensive play, taking charge of build-up and the first phase of transition.

They come into this match after a victory away against Chelsea (2-3). In the league, Arsenal has secured 20 points from 30 possible, with 6 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 away matches. Their defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, but their attack has been consistently scoring, having found the net in 9 of their last 10 matches in this competition.
