Nottingham Forest Arsenal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

As it is a game for the FA Cup this game could have some tendency to be balanced, however, the teams live a different reality. While Arsenal is struggling for the top spot in the English championship, Nottingham Forest will dispute the bottom of its championship. In this way, and taking into account also the difference between the squads, to risk in favor of the team from London in this game is a good option.

Preview
Nottingham Forest and Arsenal face at The City Ground, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 20‑09‑2016, and ended in a (0‑4) win by Arsenal. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Nottm Forest

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 32 conceded; against 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got an away tie against Leeds United by (0‑0). In the last 10 home matches Nottingham Forest has won 5 and lost 5. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Nottingham Forest leaves for this game with a draw against Leeds, adding the fifth straight game without winning in official matches. We remember that the home team's phase is not the best since it only adds two victories in the last ten games played. In this home game coach Gary Brazil should organize the team in the usual 4-2-3-1, however, with a defensive strategy as he faces an opponent who competes in the Premier League. Offensive midfielder Kieran Dowell is Nottingham Forest's top scorer with 8 goals scored. It seems that there are no absences for this match of the FA Cup.

Confirmed Lineup: Jordan Smith, Eric Lichaj, Armand Traore, Joe Worrall, Michael Mancienne, Matty Cash, David Vaughan, Ben Osborn, Kieran Dowell, Ben Brereton, Zach Clough.
Coach: N. Simões Espírito Santo.

Analysis Arsenal

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got a home tie against Chelsea by (2‑2). In the last 10 away matches Arsenal has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 11 of their 30 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Arsenal starts for this game with a 2-2 draw against Chelsea, adding the ninth match followed without losing in several competitions. However, the away team is going through a moment doubly given that it added only one victory in the last four games. In this away game, French coach Arséne Wenger should play in 3-5-2, benefiting ball possession and organized bouts, especially through the runners: Alexis Sánchez is a very fast and competent player in transporting the ball to the attack. It is important to emphasize that the strengths of the away team are in the finalization, offensive organization, aerial game and mainly maintenance of ball possession. For this game the coach can not count on Kolasinac, Cazorla, Giroud, Monreal and Ramsey, players recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: David Ospina, Rob Holding, Per Mertesacker, Mathieu Debuchy, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Joseph Willock, Mohamed Elneny, Reiss Nelson, Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Alex Iwobi.
Coach: M. Arteta.
