Data provided by

Nottingham Forest are yet to score at home this season, and they face an Arsenal side sitting second with three clean sheets, in a Premier League test at the City Ground, with a 4:30pm kick-off on Sunday.

Anthony Eadson’s Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

Arsenal are strong favourites, and Forest’s problems in front of goal shape the way in.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Arsenal to win to nil13/8 (bet365)Arsenal have the meanest look about them of the two, with three clean sheets and only five goals conceded in six games. Forest have been toothless at the City Ground, failing to score in all three home outings so far, and sit 15th on five points. The last two league meetings here both finished goalless, underlining how hard Forest find it to break Arsenal down. With the visitors so well drilled at the back, a clean-sheet away win at 13/8 holds real appeal.
Martin Odegaard to score anytime4/1 (bet365)Odegaard has rediscovered his scoring touch, netting twice in six games from midfield and starting every one. Forest have conceded eight goals and offer little going forward, so Arsenal should enjoy plenty of possession and chances. Arsenal have scored 10 goals this season and their midfielders get forward in numbers, which suits the captain’s late runs into the box. He strikes well from the edge of the area too, making 4/1 for Odegaard to get on the scoresheet a tempting price for a midfielder in form.
