Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Preview
The City Ground will host an eagerly-awaited Premier League encounter as Nottingham Forest look to bounce back from their disappointing 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace. Despite the result, Forest created plenty of opportunities, registering an impressive 3.34 expected goals and 24 attempts on goal. However, their finishing let them down, and the absence of Igor Jesus could further limit their attacking options. Key defender Nikola Milenkovic is also sidelined, leaving the hosts with concerns at both ends of the pitch. Forest have struggled at home lately, averaging just 0.5 goals scored per game in their recent fixtures.
Arsenal, meanwhile, arrive in Nottingham full of confidence after coming from behind to beat Leeds United 2-1. The Gunners are chasing Premier League leaders Manchester City and cannot afford many slip-ups. Bruno Guimaraes returns to the starting XI, while Piero Hincapie remains a major doubt. With Christos Tzolis injured, Noni Madueke is expected to retain his place in the side. Arsenal have won 80% of their recent matches across all competitions, which definitely suits our betting angle.
Forest’s wastefulness and defensive absences could prove costly against an Arsenal side in fine form. Therefore Away Win is our main betting tip, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Bukayo Saka to Score or Assis (given Tzolis' absence).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday, 18 October 2026 at 16:30.
