Arsenal FC vs. Nottingham Forest Predictions & Odds (30.10.2022)
Arsenal will look to further strengthen their grip at the summit when they host Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The Gunners seem to have struggled in recent games, forcing a 1-0 win over Leeds and PSV and being held to a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s last time out. To keep 2nd place Man City at bay, Arteta’s men will be gunning for all 3 points here.
For newly promoted Nottingham Forest, they will be hoping to build on their 1-0 victory over Liverpool last time out as they continue to swim against the tide of relegation after what has been a poor start to their first PL season in 23 years.
As we get into the thick of the season, an entertaining game is on the cards here. Hence we are helping you maximize what this match has to offer with competitive odds provided by 1xbet and Playabet.

ARSENAL
In their 1-1 draw against Southampton, Arsenal dropped points for only the second time this season putting them 2 points above champions Manchester City. That draw was Arsenal’s first in 28 Premier League matches – since a goalless draw at home to Burnley back in January. Also, it adds to the list of performances in recent fixture which seem to lend credence to how fatigue might be setting in for the Gunners and how important it is to rest some key players given how congested the season is becoming.
Despite their recent struggle, Arteta has certainly built a more resilient Arsenal squad who are edging closer to something phenomenal this season.
With Manchester City breathing down their neck, the Gunners will be looking to remain consistent and take things one game at a time. In this tie, they face a Nottingham Forest side that beat them in 2 of their last 4 meetings. Although those victories came in the FA Cup, Arsenal will underrate Steve Cooper’s men at their own peril.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Having stayed off the top flight scene since 1999, 2 time European Cup winners Nottingham Forest earned gained promotion with a 1-0 playoff win over Huddersfield.
To prepare themselves for the task ahead, Forest revamped their entire squad acquiring players in almost every department last summer. Despite this, it has not been a return many Forest fans anticipated as they currently sit bottom of the log with 9 points from 12 games.
They head into this tie on the back of a 1-0 win over Liverpool, their second win this season. Here, they will hope to build on that Awoniyi-inspired victory and earn a win over Arsenal having beaten the North Londoners 1-0 back in January this year.
