🔊Will Chelsea go into international break with a winning streak? The London team have won five consecutive matches and are aiming for a sixth. Bookmakers believe the Blues will secure three points when Nottingham Forest visit Stamford Bridge on October 6. Let’s see if the “Foresters” can spring a surprise.
H2H
Nottingham Forest have done well on their recent visits to Stamford Bridge. Last year they faced Chelsea twice, getting 4 points with a 2-2 draw and a 1-0 win. Over the past decade, the two teams have met four times, and Chelsea have only won once, with a score of 3-2.
Chelsea
Chelsea are improving with every game. Although their defense needs work—as evidenced by the sloppy goals they conceded in their recent 4-2 loss to Brighton—the team consistently creates more scoring chances than their opponents. Cole Palmer was the star player of this match, scoring all four of Chelsea’s goals. He was rested during the week as his teammates won 4-2 against Gent in the first round of the Conference League, where many of the regulars were rested. The Blues have shown they can use different lineups and still win. Unfortunately, Reece James, who has been dealing with ongoing injuries, was unable to join the celebrations.
Nottingham Forest
The big news for Nottingham ahead of their trip to London is the return of Morgan Gibbs-White following his suspension. The team has struggled without him, as shown in their recent 1-0 defeat to Fulham, where they created very few chances. It was their first defeat of the season under Nuno EspĂrito Santo. Although it may be difficult for Forest to return to winning ways, many doubted their chances at Anfield, and they surprised everyone there.
Goal Prediction
Chelsea are playing at such a high level that Nottingham’s defense does not appear to be a serious challenge. The Blues have scored at least two goals in four consecutive games and in 14 of their last 16 official matches. Given these statistics, it makes sense to bet on the fact that the hosts will score more than 1.5 goals in this match.
Corners
In the upcoming match between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, recent trends suggest that there will be less than 11.5 corners. Both teams have consistently recorded a low number of corners, with Chelsea averaging below this mark in their last nine Premier League games and the same trend having been seen in their last five meetings with Nottingham. Therefore, a bet on less than 11.5 corners seems reasonable for this match.
Scores24 Prediction For Chelsea Vs Nottingham Forest
Nottingham have scored just six goals in the current Premier League season, the same number as Chelsea’s Cole Palmer. This shows that Chelsea have a stronger attack and will likely create plenty of chances no matter how good Nottingham’s defense is. We believe Chelsea will take advantage of a few of these opportunities and could win 2-0. Therefore, we believe that betting on a Chelsea victory is a wise choice.
