Last season, Nottingham Forest successfully maintained their position in English top-flight football, placing 16th and only four points clear of the relegation zone. Their main challenge was a poor performance in away games. This season, they’ve shown minor improvement in their away games, which has so far kept them out of the relegation zone &— they’re currently four points clear. Generally, it’s perceived that Nottingham Forest is performing better than those teams currently at risk of relegation.
Arsenal missed the chance to halt City’s reign last season because of an awful season end. This year, the Gunners were at the top after 18 rounds, but a poor performance in the three games leading up to the New Year saw them slip in the rankings. Currently, they’re in 3rd place with 43 points, trailing Liverpool and the top spot by five points. They have an opportunity to narrow the gap when they play against the Reds in early February. However, they must first defeat Nottingham.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal pick: Both teams to score
Nottingham has been performing well over the past two months, with just one loss in their last six matches. Given Arsenal’s poor form, it’s expected that Forest will manage to score at their home ground where they average 1.4 goals per game. However, their defensive performance has been less than stellar, both at home and on the road. In ten Premier League home games, Forest has only managed one clean sheet, and it’s doubtful they’ll achieve one against one of England’s top teams.
Arsenal halted their poor run of securing only one point in four games with a 5:0 victory over Crystal Palace. The Gunners usually perform well against lower-ranked teams and have maintained a winning streak against teams placed 14th to 20th in the league table. Therefore, it was entirely possible for them to score at least once in this match.
In the last head-to-head match, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 2:1 score at Emirates Stadium. Taking this into account, along with other factors, we predict that both teams will manage to score in this upcoming Premier League clash.
