Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Chelsea to Win
- Odds: -136 (Tonybet)
Chelsea have one of the most dominant attacking teams in the Premier League this season, generating 62.4 xG – the highest total in the league. Nottingham Forest are coming off an exhausting Europa League game against Aston Villa (1-0), and their focus will likely shift toward the second leg.
Historically, Chelsea have dominated this fixture, with six wins and just one loss in the last 10 meetings, including two straight victories in recent encounters.
The Blues are still pushing for the European spots and enter this match with confidence after a 1-0 FA Cup semi-final win over Leeds. As a result, we expect the hosts to come out on top.
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Player Prop
- Prop Bet: João Pedro to Score
- Odds: +120 (Tonybet)
João Pedro is Chelsea’s leading Premier League scorer with 14 goals. He also has 13.72 xG, 33 shots on target, and 129 touches in the opposition box.
Forest, meanwhile, have conceded 45 goals in 34 league matches, including 24 on the road. This suggests João Pedro should get service in the zones where he is most effective.
Chelsea are expected to control possession and push Forest deep. With more time spent in the final third, Pedro’s box presence gives him the clearest path to an anytime goal.
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Chelsea to Win + João Pedro to Score + Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +290 (Tonybet)
Chelsea to Win: Chelsea beat Leeds last week. Nottingham are also in good form, but they may shift their focus to the second leg against Aston Villa. That gives the hosts the edge.
João Pedro to Score: Pedro has scored 14 goals in the Premier League and recently returned from injury. Given Forest’s defensive issues, the Brazilian should score at least once.
Over 2.5 Goals: Five of Chelsea’s last seven matches have produced three goals or more, while Nottingham have scored 10 goals across their last three games. As a result, we expect a high-scoring affair.
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Team News
Chelsea Team News
Liam Rosenior’s exit was followed by Calum McFarlane taking charge, and Chelsea beat Leeds 1-0 at Wembley to reach the FA Cup final. That win ended a run of five straight Premier League defeats without scoring. The Blues, however, produced only 0.39 xG and eight shots, yet they converted their chance effectively.
João Pedro (14 goals) and Cole Palmer (nine goals) are back in action. Pedro played the full FA Cup semi-final, while Palmer came on in the second half. Calum McFarlane also praised Enzo Fernández (eight goals) after his winner against Leeds, with his late runs into the box posing a major threat.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Filip Jörgensen, Reece James, Levi Colwill, and Estêvão are all unavailable. Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended.
Nottingham Forest Team News
With their victory over Aston Villa in the Europa League, Nottingham extended their unbeaten run to nine matches across all competitions. Their 0-5 win over Sunderland showcased their best version with fast attacks and direct running. The Tricky Trees scored four times in the first half, while producing 1.10 xG.
Chris Wood’s return has immediately transformed Forest’s attack. He scored against Sunderland and then converted the decisive penalty in the 1-0 victory over Aston Villa. Morgan Gibbs-White, meanwhile, leads the club with 13 goals.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, John Victor, Nico Savona, and Willy Boly are ruled out. Murillo, Ibrahim Sangaré, Dan Ndoye, and Jair Cunha are doubtful.
