Top 2 Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Bets for Feb 26

1. Over 2 Goals (-110)

Arsenal suffered a hammer blow to their title charge on Saturday after losing 1-0 to West Ham, their first home defeat of the campaign. As a result, they currently sit 11 points behind league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand, per Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal stats. The Gunners are also six points above third-placed Nottingham Forest.

Whilst Arsenal are in desperate need of a response, so too are Forest. The Tricky Trees relinquished an early lead and lost 4-3 to Newcastle on Sunday. They sit three points above Manchester City and Newcastle and four above Bournemouth and Chelsea. As they chase a return to the UEFA Champions League, they cannot afford to slip up.

We’re expecting both teams to come out all guns blazing and deliver an attacking shootout at the City Ground. Each of Forest’s last six matches have featured over 2.5 goals, an EPL betting trend that tracks when looking at their head-to-head record.

Since Forest’s return to the Premier League, four of their five meetings with Arsenal have served up over 2.5 goals, including their last three encounters. We’re picking that pattern to continue in our Premier League picks.

“First of all, suffer. 24, 48 hours – suffer” 😬

Bet on Forest vs Arsenal Over 2.25 Goals (-110)

2. Chris Wood to Score (+225)

Nottingham Forest are enjoying their best season in four decades thanks to the efforts of various key players. Matz Sels has been a rock in goal, Ola Aina and Neco Williams have provided plenty of relentless running and crossing from the flanks whilst Morgan Gibbs-White has been their chief playmaker.

However, if there’s one player who can be considered the leader of Forest’s attack, it’s Chris Wood. The New Zealand striker has racked up 18 goals thus far, 13 more than any other Forest player.

He’s racked up eight goals and three assists in his last eight league matches, and all signs point to him delivering the goods once again in our soccer expert picks.

Bet on Chris Wood to Score (+225)
