Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea: Top Free Betting Tips

Chelsea cannot afford to drop points to a team like Nottingham. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

We think that there is a lot of value in this market for Nottingham vs Chelsea. Both sides have been struggling and need to win this game. We do not expect the most open play in this match and Chelsea do not seem like the strongest team right now, not one that can score 3-4 goals on the road even against a weak side like Nottingham.

Match Result Prediction: Chelsea to Win

Chelsea's form has been terrible but they should still be able to beat Nottingham even on the worst day possible. The difference in class is unimaginable and we think that Chelsea will find a way to win the three points. If Chelsea cannot win against teams from the bottom of the table, they will not achieve anything this season.

Correct Score Prediction: 0:2 to Chelsea

We think that 0:2 is more than enough for this match and there is real value in this market. Nottingham are weaker than Chelsea in every aspect of the game but Chelsea had four defeats in a row before the most recent win in the previous round. It is safe to say that this has been their worst form since the start of the season and we do not expect much.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea: Form, Recent Games, and News

Nottingham Preview

It seems that Nottingham Forest are on their way to the Championship once again. The team overdid it on the transfer market and attackted something like 25 new players, some very solid ones. But this is not enough to make a good team. The chemistry is not there and the attack is almost inexistent.

Chelsea Preview

Chelsea had a bad start and then made a key signing – Graham Potter as manager. For some time, it seemed like the team is improving – they had nine consecutive games without a defeat but then, it all fell apart. Right before the World Cup, Chelsea ended with four defeats in five games and now, even Top 4 will be a huge challenge this season.
