Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.5: Nottingham Forest have not scored a single goal in their three home league games this season, and that is where this one starts. Those games finished 0-1, 0-0 and 0-1. Forest score under a goal a game and have won only 1 of their last 11. Igor Jesus and Savona are out, and captain Gibbs-White is a doubt after a calf problem that kept him out of training all week. Arsenal do not need a big night to win this. They let in under a goal a game and have won 14 of their last 17. Their away wins have been 1-0 at Villa and 2-0 at Sunderland. They are also without Saliba and Hincapie at centre-back, so they will take fewer risks than usual. The past meetings tell the same story. Forest have not scored in four of their last five against Arsenal. A 0-1 Arsenal win looks the most likely finish, and a game like that is exactly what we are after. The one thing that could beat us is Forest's finishing. They have made plenty of chances in their last five games without taking them, and the game opens up if that turns around here. Arsenal can also add a late second once Forest start chasing. We still expect a quiet, low-scoring night at the City Ground.
