Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest betting tips summary
- Arsenal to win – won the last four H2H matches at home
- Over 2.5 goals in the match – Landed in Arsenal’s only home match and in two of Forest’s matches so far this season
- Nottingham Forest to receive over 2.5 cards – Happened in their last four EPL away matches
The 2025/26 English Premier League returns this weekend, as title-contenders Arsenal host Nottingham Forest.
Manager Mikel Arteta will see his side return to the Emirates, after testing their title credentials against defending English Premier League champions Liverpool.
It was a match that saw their perfect start to the season end, after Dominik Szoboszlai’s thunderous free-kick meant that the Gunners headed into the international break with two wins from three games.
They will welcome a Nottingham Forest side rocked by the news of manager Nuno Espírito Santo’s sacking, following a falling out with owner Evangelos Marinakis.
His successor comes in the shape of former Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou, with the Aussie set to take charge of his game in front of his former club’s bitter rivals.
He is sure to want to hit the ground running with a Forest side who suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to West Ham United, in their last match.
What are the best bets for Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest?
Arsenal to win
The home side will be keen to get back to winning ways following the international break and face a disjointed Nottingham Forest side.
Given their good record against Saturday’s opponents, this represents a chance to gather some momentum ahead of the beginning of their UEFA Champions League campaign.
Over 2.5 goals in the match
Arsenal netted five in their only home match so far this season, whilst this has happened in two of Nottingham Forest’s matches.
This has also landed in the last four renewals of this fixture.
Nottingham Forest to receive over 2.5 cards
The visitors have seen their players carded at least three times in two of their three matches this campaign, as well as in their last four English Premier League away matches.
