Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds –…

Chelsea will be hoping the international break helped to clear up some of their injury issues as they bid to build on a memorable victory versus Liverpool when visiting Nottingham Forest.

The omens do look good for the Blues, who have won on their last two trips to the City Ground and face a Forest outfit struggling for confidence.

The timing feels right to take 20/21 for another away success in this fixture for our initial Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea prediction.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Head-to-Head Record

Levi Colwill scored the only goal of the game for Chelsea at this venue on the final day of last season, while the Blues came from behind to prevail 3-2 here towards the end of the previous campaign.

To be fair, Forest have more than held their own in other meetings since returning to the top flight, picking up three draws and a 1-0 success at Stamford Bridge in September 2023.

Nottingham Forest Form Guide

In one of those fascinating football anomalies, Ange Postecoglou is already favourite in the latest Premier League sack race less than two months after replacing Nuno Espirito Santo as Forest boss.

The former Tottenham head coach has made a terrible start to his tenure, failing to win any of his first seven games in charge.

Just one point has been picked up in four league fixtures, when drawing 1-1 away to Burnley.

Postecoglou admittedly faced a tough introduction when losing 3-0 at Arsenal, but a 1-0 home defeat against Sunderland set early alarm bells ringing.

Following a Europa League reversal versus Midtjylland in front of their own fans, a 2-0 loss at Newcastle left them 17th in the table.

The Reds did show some resilience in defence at St James’ Park, holding out until almost an hour had been played, but they were under siege for much of the second half and were arguably fortunate not to concede more than a couple.

Looking at the Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea odds, there is plenty of appeal in a BOYLE Sports price boost of 9/2 for the hosts to again be level at the break but then lose.

The Blues paid the price for poor discipline when suffering back-to-back Premier League defeats against Manchester United away and Brighton at home, going down to 10 men each time.

However, they bounced back by beating Benfica 1-0 in the Champions League, even though Joao Pedro saw red in the closing stages.

Enzo Maresca must then have been very proud of his injury-hit side when securing a dramatic 2-1 success against Liverpool in London.

Cody Gakpo cancelled out Moises Caicedo’s opener but Brazilian teenager Estevao Willian brought the house down by turning in Marc Cucurella's cross for a stoppage-time winner.

It was a deserved victory for the Blues, who moved up to seventh, and 14/5 for them to secure a third straight win by exactly one goal is added to our Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea betting tips.
