Arsenal – Nottingham Forest

London Arsenal will confidently defeat the guests from Nottingham at their arena.

Following the transfer campaign, which is rapidly concluding in Europe, many analysts are noting how the squads of the continent's top clubs have changed. Looking at the list of clubs with the most valuable squads, one can be quite seriously surprised. Remarkably, the surprise will be related to the participants of this London match. Firstly, Arsenal has the second most expensive squad among clubs worldwide trailing only behind Real Madrid. Naturally, this means that the 'Gunners' are more expensive than any other squad in the Premier League. Secondly, with even greater astonishment, the fifteenth position of Nottingham Forest is perceived, whose squad value surpasses that of Milan, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, and many other iconic European clubs. This fact can be considered phenomenal not only because the owner of this club is from Greece, not Qatar or Saudi Arabia, but also because the 'foresters' have just begun their fourth consecutive season in the Premier League and had not been classified as leaders in English football for decades. The bookmakers have set the home side as the favourites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.38 for their victory. London's Arsenal approaches the upcoming match in a considerably sobered state. Before the last round, the 'Gunners' had two victories in two matches, and the bookmakers equalized the odds for winning the Premier League with the defending champion - Liverpool. It was indeed the Merseyside club that Arsenal played against, losing due to a single goal scored by Dominik Szoboszlai. Perhaps such a result will bring more benefit to Arteta's side than harm. The fourth round of the championship is just underway, and it's important to assess one's strengths soberly. Nottingham Forest recently made shocking news with the dismissal of Nuno Santo. The Portuguese specialist transformed the 'foresters' from Premier League underdogs into contenders for a Champions League spot in just two years. It is said that Santo disagreed with the club president... From a purely sporting perspective, one can note the draw for the 'foresters' against Crystal Palace and the home defeat to West Ham with a score of 0:3. In any case, the confusion from the changes within the club is bound to affect the situation on the pitch. Let’s place a bet that the home side will win the match comfortably.
