Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tip 1: Over 2.5 Goals

The most recent meeting between these two saw Forest edge Arsenal by a solitary goal in the penultimate round of last season.  A tired, depleted Gunners side looked to be on their last legs after a taxing title run-in, so we are expecting far more attacking impetus in this opening fixture.

Only champions Manchester City scored more goals than the Gunners on home soil last season, and the repeat of this fixture saw them run out 5-0 victors as they dismantled Forest back in October of last year.

Arsenal can send a strong signal of intent to the rest of the league with a convincing win here, and we are tipping them to do so.

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tip 2: Arsenal to Win to Nil

Nottingham Forest survived by their skin of their teeth after a hard-fought relegation slog, and will attempt to tap into their front-foot approach we witnessed against the Gunners in May.

However, their torrid record away from the Midlands is hard to look past – the Reds managed just eight points from a possible 57, losing 13 in the process.

They also scored the least (11) and conceded the most (44) away from home in the Premier League. Against an Arsenal team who transformed the Emirates into a fortress for the vast majority of last year, it would come as no surprise to see them win with a clean sheet.
