High Stakes in Nottinghamshire!
With only two games left in the English Premier League season, Nottingham Forest, the Premier League betting underdog for this match, needs one more victory to officially avoid relegation.
Speaking of the title, Arsenal must win to keep hopes alive since it is four points behind Manchester City.

Nottingham Forest: Not Afraid
Last Saturday, Nottingham Forest wasn’t favored in the Premier League odds to defeat Chelsea, and it didn’t, but it managed to win a very valuable point since the match finished 2-2. Raheem Sterling and Taiwo Awoniyi shared the Man of the Match award after both scored a brace.
Keylor Navas, Nottingham’s goalkeeper, also deserves a lot of credit since Chelsea finished with six shots on target. Navas arrived mid-season and has made a huge difference. He’s playing on a loan from PSG.
Nottingham Forest has been considerably better when playing at home. Seven of its eight victories were at City Ground, including the last one, 4-3 over Southampton, scoring at least three goals in its last two home games.
Awoniyi also scored a brace against Southampton. Needless to say, he’s the main reason to consider including Nottingham Forest in your soccer picks.
Arsenal: For Honor
I’m just gonna say it: Arsenal already lost the EPL title. First, Manchester City is four points away. Second, the Citizens crushed Arsenal a couple of weeks ago. Finally, Pep Guardiola’s team has played one game less.
That being said, the Gunners must win to get back into the winning column and close the season on a high note. Last Sunday, they lost 3-0 to Brighton at home despite finishing with more shots in total. That simply cannot happen again.
The Gunners, who are offering a -180 price in the Premier League odds to win straight up, own a 12-3-3 road record, losing just one of their last eight games on the road. Most recently, they defeated Newcastle, a team much better than Nottingham Forest, 2-0.
The visitors have a deadly trio on the attack that could end up being too much for Navas and company. We’re talking about Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus. The three of them have combined for 40 goals. And let’s not forget about Bukayo Saka, who leads the team in assists with 11.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Head-to-Head
Arsenal was the betting online favorite in the first meeting with Nottingham Forest, winning 5-0 with Reiss Nelson as Man of the Match after scoring a brace. Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard also scored. Nottingham never stood a chance since Arsenal won possession with 70% and finished with 10 shots on goal, eight more than Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal won six of the last nine meetings between the two.
The total for Saturday’s clash is set at three goals, with the over offering a -110 price. Don’t worry, that price could improve via live betting.
