Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal: Premier League Odds
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Assuming Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka start for Arsenal, my Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal prediction is Arsenal Over 1.5 Goals (-145).
Over 1.5 @ -140 Under 1.5 @ +100Two potential concerns are worth pointing out for Sunday’s match. First, the price may prove a bit steep for an Arsenal attack that has cleared this line only once on the road.
That success came at Sunderland with a penalty kick needed to get Arsenal over 1.5 goals.
While Arsenal finished 1.3 goals under its post-shot expectation at Brighton, most came from a severely negative game state.
It’s also a sandwich spot for the visitors, who face a trip to Bayern Munich next week in the Champions League. It leads to unknowns around how Mikel Arteta’s lineup looks at Forest.
The case for optimism rests in fading a Nottingham Forest defense that looked atrocious at Crystal Palace last week.
Manager Oliver Glasner’s side, against an attack inferior to Arsenal, surrendered three goals after going 1-0 up inside three minutes.
This was no fluky performance by the Palace attack either. For the match, Palace scored three goals against 2.4 expected goals and 3.3 post-shot xG.
It qualifies as one of two poor performances from the defense this season. At Liverpool, Forest allowed two goals off 1.6 xG/2.0 psxG.
This match qualifies as the first fixture where odds make Forest a home dog. How, if at all, those metrics improve remains unknown.
If Arsenal sends out a full-strength lineup, it could place the Forest defense in additional trouble.
