Arsenal and Nottingham Forest to Square Off: Analysis, Forecasts, and Top Wagers to Consider
Saturday, 13 September 2025, will see a thrilling encounter between Arsenal FC and Nottingham Forest FC at the Emirates Stadium.
Nottingham Forest, managed by the new coach Ange Postecoglou, have had a mixed start to the spring season. They began with a 3-1 victory over Brentford, only to draw 1-1 against West Ham in their second match. Their third fixture ended in a 3-0 defeat at home to West Ham.
Arsenal FC, on the other hand, have been in impressive form. They started the season with a 1-0 win at Manchester United and followed it up with a resounding 5-0 victory over Leeds. Their last match, however, resulted in a 1-0 loss at Liverpool.
Nottingham Forest have bolstered their squad with several summer signings, including Dilane Bakwa from Strasbourg for £35 million, Oleksandr Zinchenko on a season-long loan from Arsenal FC, Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha from Botafogo, and Cherif Yaya from Rio Ave. Bakwa is expected to make his debut from the bench, while Eberechi Eze is pushing for a place in the Arsenal FC XI.
Unfortunately, Ola Aina, a key player for Nottingham Forest, is unavailable due to an injury sustained on Nigeria duty. Arsenal FC will also be without Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. Noni Madueke is set to start for Arsenal FC due to Bukayo Saka's absence.
Arsenal FC's style of play is expected to be more open than their previous match against Liverpool, with Martin Odegaard likely to start. The Gunners view a win as a good result against Nottingham Forest, and Arteta's side will look to get bodies forward and keep attacking if they're leading.
The best bet for this match is Arsenal FC win and Both Teams to Score at 3.10. A featured bet is Arsenal FC win, Over 2.5 Goals, and Gyokeres to score anytime at 2.75. Nottingham Forest would arguably be content with a draw against Arsenal FC, but a win on the final day would have secured Champions League football for Forest during the 2024-25 season.
Football analyst James O'Connor predicts this to be a good game with several new signings on both sides. Arsenal FC have lost just 2 of their last 15 league matches, while Nottingham Forest have lost 6 of their last 12. Arsenal FC have won their last 4 home matches against Nottingham Forest.
With both teams aiming for victory, this match promises to be an exciting one.
