Probabilidades e informações de apostas para Nottingham Forest x Chelsea

Por que apostar no Nottingham Forest?

This is a very different Nottingham Forest from last season. They beat Brentford 3-1 in their opening game but haven’t managed another win since. With five points out of a possible 21, they sit in 17th place. Moreover, their five goals scored make them the worst attack in the league, considering three of those came in the first match.

But their struggles go beyond the league. They were eliminated from the FA Cup after losing to Swansea, and in the Europa League, they’ve drawn one and lost another. In other words, they’ve won just one of their 10 matches this season, losing six of them. Australian coach Ange Postecoglou, who arrived in September, is still searching for his first win.

Including last season, at home they’ve won only one match, drawn another, and lost five of their last seven. They’ve only managed to score in the games they didn’t lose.

Striker Chris Wood was injured this week while playing for New Zealand against Norway and is doubtful for Saturday. If confirmed, he would join midfielder Douglas Luiz on the injury list, while Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ola Aina are also questionable.

Por que apostar no Chelsea?

Chelsea had two setbacks that cost them positions in the table, but in their last match, they managed to get back on track. They have three wins, two draws, and two losses, sitting in 7th place with 11 points.

With 13 goals scored, they are the third-highest scoring team, while their nine goals conceded make them the weakest defense among the top nine teams.

They suffered two defeats—against Manchester United (2-1) away and Brighton (1-3) at home—but bounced back with a 2-1 win over Liverpool in their last game, thanks to a goal from Estêvão in the 90+5 minute.

In both of those losses, they also suffered early red cards to key players like Robert Sánchez and Trevoh Chalobah. Including the Champions League, the ‘Blues’ have received four red cards in their last five matches, as coach Enzo Maresca was also sent off versus Liverpool. The only game without a red card was against third-division Lincoln City in the EFL Cup.

As visitors, they’ve played three matches and had one of each result: a win, a draw, and a loss—in that order.

The Londoners are also dealing with several injury absences. Those who are almost certain to miss the match include Liam Delap, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, and Dário Essugo, while Cole Palmer, Andrey Santos, and Tosin Adarabioyo remain doubtful.

Final Betting Analysis: Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea

Just by looking at the standings, it’s easy to pick a favorite. But not only that—the goals scored and level of play also make it clear. Even if they might be without their biggest star, Chelsea are the clear favorites and should take the win.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Chelsea as the favorite, with their Moneyline at +101, while Nottingham Forest are listed at +288 and the draw at +286.

The last time these two teams met was on May 25 of this year, at this same stadium, where Chelsea won 0-1 with a goal from Colwill. The ‘Blues’ are unbeaten in three matches, winning two, and at the City Ground, they are undefeated in four straight, winning three of them.

Go for a win for Chelsea. If you bet $100 at +101, you will gain $101 for a total payout of $201.
