Chelsea vs. Nottingham Forest: Initial situation
After a couple of struggling seasons, Chelsea is back on the winning track and has a chance to get into the top three in the standings. Nottingham Forest lost at home last week but they can be dangerous coming in as underdogs.
Chelsea Stats & Form
Chelsea is currently fourth in the Premier League standings with 13 points, only two less than the leading Liverpool. The Blues have 4 wins, one loss, and one draw with a 15-7 goal differential. At home, they have split the three previous games. Chelsea lost the season opener against the defending champions Manchester City but did not allow that to lower their spirit. The only team that escaped undefeated since then is Crystal Palace while Chelsea defeated Wolves, Bournemouth, West Ham, and Brighton in the last round. That was a tough one since Chelsea allowed the first goal but they managed to bounce back and win. That was a spectacular day for Cole Palmer who scored all four goals for Chelsea. This is the second time this year for Palmer to score four goals in a single game after he did the same in the 6-0 win over Everton in April. During the week, Chelsea won 4-2 in the Champions League against Gent.
Nottingham Forest Stats & Form
Nottingham Forest barely escaped relegation last season and made some significant moves that should help them have a more successful season. Currently, they are 10th in the Premier League with 9 points. In six rounds, the Reds have two wins, three draws and one loss. Their only loss came in the last round, 0-1 at home against Fulham. The highlight of their season so far was the 1-0 win on the road against Liverpool with Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring the game-winner. Their other won came on the road against Southampton with Morgan Gibbs-White scoring the lone goal of the game.

Betting tip and prediction: Chelsea – Nottingham Forest (06.10.2024)
Chelsea has an impressive start to the season and this looks like a real opportunity to climb the standings. Winning the last four games in the Premier League speaks enough about their current form, but that may or may not be a fact that goes in their favor. Last week, the Blues scored four goals at Stanford Bridge, but this Sunday they will face a much better defensive team. Nottingham Forest just like Chelsea has had two clean sheets in the first six rounds of the season, which places them fourth in the league. Both teams are in the bottom half of the league in shots on target with Chelsea being 11th and Forest right after them. Given the odds and the current form, Chelsea is a major favorite going into this game, but we should think twice before betting on them. Chelsea won last year on Stanford Bridge and already beat the leading Liverpool on the road this season. Given all that, we go with under 2.5 goals in total for this game.
