Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest should be a pre-decided contest but we all know the problems at Chelsea. Here are our predictions.

Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes

Chelsea spent so much money over the past year and still, they cannot handle much defensively. The team concedes in almost every single match and we think that Nottingham Forest can score at least once here. They did it in all three games since the start of the season – against Arsenal, Sheffield, and twice against Man Utd. We expect a goal-packed fixture with an over and BTTS.

Team To Score in Both Halves: Chelsea

Despite the goal we expect for Nottingham Forest, we think that Chelsea will win this match with multiple goals scored. They are improving offensively and we saw them score in both halves in the last two games. Nottingham Forest have been scoring goals but their biggest problem has been the defense. With six conceded goals in three matches, we think that Chelsea's attack will have a great chance to score multiple goals.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Chelsea

We believe that there are two results that have the highest chances in this match. You should either pick the 2-1 win for Chelsea or the 3-1, which is our pick. We believe that this is the perfect matchup for Chelsea to score multiple times. When we compare the Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest line ups, there is an obvioius difference in class between the two teams with the hosts having a significantly better squad.

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Team Previews

Chelsea Preview

Chelsea had an unbelievable transfer window once again but this time, they managed to sell almost an entire squad worth of players. This will make it easier for them to find balance and chemistry with the new manager and all the young players. We think that Chelsea will be significantly better in the new campaign and we have high expectations.

Nottingham Forest Preview

Nottingham Forest surprised the world when they survived the previous season in the Premier League. The team went on a strong run at the end of the season and managed to finish four points above the relegation zone. This year, it will be even harder and the team has a lot to prove. We believe that the team will be more balanced this season and they may achieve more.
