Nottingham take on the visitors Arsenal in the round 22 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 30th at City Ground (Nottingham).
Nottingham Forest managed to achieve a series of successes after changing their coach. The Tricky Trees are certainly remembered by many for the Brian Clough era, peaking with a couple of European Cup victories. But that was a long time ago, and at the beginning of the new century, they struggled to return to the Premier League. They managed to climb out of the Championship in 2022, through playoff matches. This was accomplished by Steve Cooper, who, in the 2022/2023 season, turned the record number of players signed by the management into a team competitive enough for the Premier League - at the very least, they retained their Premier League status. After the summer break, the results were not hopeless. However, an unsuccessful period with numerous defeats at the end of 2023 led to the resignation of the Welshman. He was replaced by Espirito Santo, who brought victories against Newcastle and Man United. However, after that, they only narrowly passed modest Blackpool in extra time, and then lost 2-3 to Brentford in the Premier League. Against this backdrop, it's not particularly surprising that the match against modest Bristol City in the cup ended goalless.

Arsenal became the country's vice-champions, which was a real breakthrough for a team that had previously struggled to finish in the top quartet. The Red and Whites were seriously preparing for the new cycle, as evidenced by the record acquisition of Declan Rice. As a result, they clinched the title, albeit in the form of the English Super Cup - on penalties, against Manchester City. In the Champions League, the English team's return was successful, and despite losing to Lens there, they won their group. On the other hand, their cup competition journey has already ended. First, in the League Cup, West Ham with Zinchenko and company proved stronger. And in January, despite all the advantages, the London giant eventually lost to Liverpool. Meanwhile, after meeting the leader at Christmas, the capital club then lost to West Ham and Fulham, slipping to 4th place. However, they thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0.
In early 2018, the teams played in the cup, and Forest won 4-2. Thus began the current series, where the home team has won six times in a row. The Gunners are stronger and capable of breaking the aforementioned trend. Let's bet that they will defeat Forest away with a handicap of -1.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -1.0 handicap.
