Nottingham Forrest vs. Arsenal: Preview and betting tips

In the 4th round of the English FA Cup, Nottingham Forrest, two-time Champions League winners currently playing in the second highest league in England, and Arsenal, who have been performing fantastically lately, were pitted against each other.

Nottingham Forrest are around mid-table in the English Championship. Out of their last five games, they have recorded 3 wins and 2 defeats. It happens that they can often outplay their opponents, they have better ball possession and more shots, but they don’t score many goals.

Arsenal players have to be especially careful with Lewis Grabban. The thirty-three year old striker has managed to score ten goals this season.

Jordi Osei-Tutu, who came through Arsenal’s academy, could also feature in the home side’s line-up. He may therefore remember teammates such as Bukayo Saka or Emile Smith-Rowe from his earlier years.

Visiting Arsenal come to Nottingham after defeat to Manchester City. Despite being the much better team against the Citizens, Arsenal lost. Before that, however, they held a run of 5 wins in a row.

Arsenal have been showing tremendous commitment in recent games. The Canaries are playing exactly as their coach Mikel Arteta envisions. This match may not be as important as the league game, but Arsenal would definitely like to win some trophy this year. That’s why they are aiming to advance past Nottingham.

In the league, Arsenal are losing too many points to think about the title. And so he has no choice but to try to fight in the cup. In the EFL Cup, Liverpool await. The first match was supposed to be played on Thursday, but it was postponed, so Arsenal had more time to rest.

We can expect to see Bernd Leno in goal for the first time in a long time. There will also probably be some changes in the defence. However, the midfield and attack will not change much from the regular lineup, unless you count the players who left for AFCON.

We expect Arsenal to win this game and advance to the next round. Nottingham Forrest will put up a fight in front of the home fans, but it probably won’t be enough for Arsenal’s current form. However, the home side could still enjoy some goals.

We can also expect more goals. In the last matches Arsenal have a score of 15: 3. In addition to that they won the cup match against Sunderland 5: 1. Nottingham’s record in their last five games is 8-5.

The last match these teams played against each other was in 2019. It was an EFL Cup match and Arsenal won 5: 0.
