Arsenal - Nottingham Forest predictions

Arsenal are seen as favourites to win this match against Nottingham Forest. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

Forest stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 8.13 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

A Liverpool defeat is something Arsenal want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Premier League came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

Nottingham Forest supporters will have been pretty disappointed by their team’s latest home display. Heavily favoured to beat West Ham United, Nottingham Forest failed to live up to the expectations. Following a draw in the first half, they went down and never recovered, which resulted in a heart-breaking 0:3 defeat.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Arsenal, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

The recent history of this matchup reveals a good part of why the hosts are considered the favourites. A quick look at the stats shows a decisive victory over Forest. The most recent clash between the two squads is from last season, though.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
