Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal

Current streaks

Recent form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent form has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with their last six matches showcasing both their attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities. Despite their current third-place position in the league, Forest have struggled for consistency, alternating between wins and losses in their last four matches. The Reds have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, most notably their emphatic 7-0 victory over Brighton and a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Newcastle United. Their goal-scoring record is impressive, netting 16 times in six games, but they've also conceded 15 goals in the same period, highlighting defensive issues. Remarkably, all of Forest's last six matches have seen over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in four of those games. While they've shown the ability to score freely, Forest have managed just one clean sheet in this run, suggesting they may need to tighten up at the back to maintain their lofty league position.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent form has been a mixed bag, with four wins and two losses in their last six matches across all competitions. The Gunners have shown impressive attacking prowess, particularly in their 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City in the Premier League, which stands out as a high-scoring affair. Defensively, Arsenal have been relatively solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in this period. However, their consistency has been questioned with recent losses to West Ham in the league and Newcastle United in the League Cup. Despite these setbacks, Arsenal maintain a strong position in the Premier League table, sitting second with 53 points from 26 games. Their goal-scoring average of 1.67 per game demonstrates their attacking threat, although the majority of their recent matches (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter contests.

The Reds have been formidable in attack, netting 16 goals in their last six home fixtures, averaging an impressive 2.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've been equally solid, conceding just four goals in this period and keeping three clean sheets.
