Nottingham Forest vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. Arsenal lost their last game before the international break to Brighton in a one-sided 3-0 loss, but have bounced back well since the resumption of play with two wins in two. In total this season, they have now won eight of their nine matches and have kept clean sheets in five of those matches.
Now, they face a Forest side who have struggled to score goals this season. They have only scored five goals in the Premier League, with only Tottenham scoring fewer times. Forest sit 15th in the table, having only won one game this season. Forest having goal-scoring issues is nothing new this season. In the previous campaign, only seven teams scored fewer times than the Tricky Trees. So far in the new campaign they are having those same struggles, and now they face arguably the best defense in the world.
In terms of the recent history between these teams, there have been a ton of clean sheets from the Gunners in this matchup. In each of the last four Premier League games between these teams, Nottingham Forest have not scored. Arsenal won two of those 3-0, and the other two finished in 0-0 draws. Based on the start to the season that both teams have had, Arsenal should find a way to win this one without conceding.
