Nottingham Forest - Chelsea predictions

Nottingham Forest will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Chelsea, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 3.85.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Chelsea have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

Nottingham Forest’s most recent 2:0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United was easily predictable, with most bookies pricing it at 1.56. Still, Nottingham Forest kept up for the first 45 minutes at an away game, which is still better than what betting predictions anticipated.

The away team previously secured a narrow home win against Liverpool after leading the proceedings throughout the runtime. It seems like a routine home win, but it’s important to remember that the Premier League betting odds for Chelsea winning were set at around 2.36 despite the fact that they were playing at home.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over The Blues’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

The home team will be looking to stay afloat and out of the relegation zone, though tough matches like this one will only make that harder. To be fair, though, the season just barely started, so they may climb up the ladder yet.

The Blues are 2 points behind European places and will be eager to add three more to their tally. Top bookmakers online set them as favourites to win and we suggest you back them at 1.92 betting odds.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.67, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
