On May 13, Stamford Bridge (London) will host the match of the 36th round of the English Premier League, in which Chelsea will compete with Nottingham Forest. The battle will start at 16:00 CET.

Chelsea

The club was finally able to win. To tell the truth, it is also symptomatic and perfectly shows how terrible the grand looks in the current season. The event was that the team squeezed an unmotivated newcomer, Bournemouth. Moreover, that happened only in the end of the game: there had been a draw in the battle with “the Cherries” until the 82nd minute of the confrontation, and only then Badiashile and Joao Felix scored their goals. However, one can easily note that the series of defeats has finally been interrupted, moreover, Lampard, after returning as the coach of the main team of his life, finally did not lose and “closed” his anti-records. Generally speaking, “the Blues” are obviously waiting for the next season, realizing that nothing will be good in the current one. This ambitious team was left without the European tournaments for the next autumn for the first time since 2016/2017.

Nottingham Forest

The team actually spent another season in the Championship a year ago. Then, Steve Cooper was able to secure a good finish, which resulted in the 4th place in the table and gave the right to try the luck in the matches for promotion – and the play-offs were won. The return to the Premier League, which was the first for a quarter of a century, forced the owner to spend a lot of money on a record number of newcomers. It seemed that “the Foresters” gradually gained momentum. Still, a new recession began since the end of winter, and Steve Cooper could not do anything for a long time. Recently, there has been a victory in the match against Brighton, but it did not save from falling into the relegation zone. The previous match, which was more than spectacular, brought a success in the battle with a direct competitor, Southampton – 4-3.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Chelsea, taking into account recent decades, played with Nottingham Forest in the cup format and won those matches. Still, having been promoted to the Premier League, “the Foresters” achieved a 1-1 draw at the home arena on New Year Eve.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Chelsea to be the clear favourite of the following battle. At the same time, the grandee is just waiting for the summer, and the guests will be happy even if they take a draw. Thus, we recommend betting on boring “total: under 2.5” (odd: 2.01).
