Considering Arsenal’s superior league position, recent winning run in away fixtures, and higher goal difference in the 2025-26 campaign, a logical prediction is an Arsenal win, for example 1-2, with away win odds around 1.65–1.75 and Forest’s upset priced above 4.75. Value-seeking bettors might also look at Arsenal to win with under 3.5 total goals, often offered around 2.20–2.40 given both sides’ tendency toward controlled, tactical matches.

In recent head-to-head meetings over the past few Premier League seasons, Arsenal have won most league encounters, while Nottingham Forest’s best results have come at the City Ground, including occasional home wins in cup or league play. Overall, Arsenal lead the modern H2H record comfortably on total wins and goals scored, but Forest have shown they can be dangerous at home, making this fixture more competitive in Nottingham than at the Emirates.
