Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Preview
A 3-0 home defeat against Brighton last weekend pretty much sealed the Gunners’ fate. Regardless of whether Arsenal claim all three points this weekend, a Man City win at home to Chelsea would wrap up a third consecutive Premier League title.
After occupying pole position for a large majority of the campaign, just two wins in seven has seen Arsenal squander the opportunity to lift the trophy for the first time in nearly 20 years. It might still not be enough, but Mikel Arteta’s side can heap the pressure on City with a win in Nottingham.
Forest know a win on Saturday would go a huge way to securing their safety. Seven points from a possible 12 has left them in a strong position, with survival now in their own hands. They will be brimming with confidence following a deserved point at Stamford Bridge and prepare to face Arsenal following back-to-back home wins.
Steve Cooper would probably take a point but a draw does nothing for the visitors. Arsenal will give everything they’ve got and we could be in for a cracking tie as a result.
Premier League Betting Odds
In spite of their strong record at the City Ground, Forest are huge 5.10 underdogs, while an Arsenal win is priced at 1.54. Both teams to score is heavily backed at 1.66, with a draw less favoured at 2.14. There has been plenty of goals in both sides’ recent outings, with over 3.5 (2.43) and over 4.5 (4.20) offering good value.
Gabriel Jesus is leading the odds to open the scoring at 4.75, followed by teammates Gabriel Martinelli (6.40) and Bukayo Saka (6.40). Brennan Johnson is seen as Forest’s biggest threat and can be backed to break the deadlock at 8.90.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Betting Tips
Arsenal win and both teams to score – 3.00
We expect Arsenal to bounce back from the Brighton defeat. The defeat means that the pressure is now off – nobody is expecting them to win the league from their current position. This should allow them to get back to their free-flowing best.
Forest will prove tough opposition and the City Ground will be bouncing, but they will struggle to keep the Gunners at bay.
Martin Odegaard first goalscorer – 7.90
These are great odds for the player that has been Arsenal’s biggest goalscoring threat in recent weeks. The Norwegian has netted five in six appearances, taking his tally to 15 in 35 league games. A danger from anywhere around the box, he could be the one to watch.
