Matchweek 22 of the Premier League has arrived as Arsenal travel to take on Nottingham Forest in a game that sees first place take on 17th.
Arsenal are -185 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +330. Fancy a Nottingham Forest upset? They are +500 to pick up three points.
Nottingham Forest vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. After picking up a 3-2 win against Chelsea on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup, Arsenal should be filled with confidence as they enter this game against struggling Nottingham Forest.
Sean Dyche’s men are coming into this game off the back of an upset loss to Championship side Wrexham in the FA Cup. The main priority for them hasn’t changed however, and that is survival. They beat West Ham 2-1 in their last Premier League match to extend their lead on the drop zone to seven points. They will look to secure more points in this one, but it couldn’t come against tougher opposition.
I fancy the Gunners to win this one with ease and keep a clean sheet while doing so. Arsenal have the best defensive record in the Premier League and Champions League so far this season, while Forest struggles to score goals. Only bottom of the table Wolves have scored fewer than Forest in the Premier League so far.
Arsenal have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning four of the last five Premier League matchups while drawing one. Included in that run was a 3-0 victory at the Emirates earlier this season and three clean sheets. I would expect a similar result on Saturday, with Arsenal unbeaten in their last 10 games in all competitions while Nottingham Forest have only won one of their last six.
I can only see this game going one way, and that’s with the Gunners collecting the points while keeping a clean sheet.
