Chelsea vs Nottingham prediction
Chelsea will be gunning for another PL home win when they host Nottingham Forest on Saturday. So far, the Blues earned a draw against Liverpool, a loss at West Ham while they managed to clinch a first win under Pochentino in a 3-0 victory against Luton. That win was Chelsea’s first at home since beating Dortmund 2-0 in the UCL back in March. Also, the victory was a much needed one, highlighting the potential in that squad and what needs to be done to fine-tune the performance going forward.
Against Forest, the Blues face a huge battle given the current form of the team especially the Nigerian Taiwo Awoniyi who has scored in all 3 games for his side. In fact, last time out, Man United had to rely on individual prowess to inspire a 3-2 come back win at Old Trafford, handing Steve Cooper’s men a second league loss this season. Forest will still feel gutted to have thrown away that 2 goal lead, hence we expect them to put up a spirited display here.
Certainly, Forest are no push overs given what they have shown so far. However, Chelsea seem to be gradually finding their rhythm especially with the telepathic connection between Enzo Fernandez and the forwards as seen in the game against Luton. Therefore, for our Chelsea Vs Nottingham prediction, we expect the Blues to have just what it takes to secure all 3 points.

Main tip: Chelsea Win
Our Chelsea vs Nottingham predictions
According to the statistics and the odds of the bookmakers, we suggest the following tips:
Prediction 1: Chelsea Win
Raheem Sterling gave a sterling performance in Chelsea’s last PL home game against Luton. In that tie, the Blues showed loads of intent and energy with Caicedo, Enzo and Gusto. With this, Chelsea are starting to gel and build their confidence. Asides this, the h2h stats seem not to favor Steve Cooper’s men going into this game, with Chelsea winning 4 out of the 6 ties both teams have played. As a result, we expect them to go all the way and win this tie.

Prediction 2: Chelsea Over 1.5 Goals

Hence, for our second Chelsea Vs Nottingham prediction, using Melbet’s odd of 1.50, we are believe a Chelsea Over 1.5 Goals is a good choice.

Prediction 3: Sterling To Score
Sterling starting to enjoy a breath of fresh air under Pochetinno. So far, he has scored 2 goals in 3 for the Blues, signalling how much of a threat poses to teams this season and how key he is to Chelsea doing well this campaign. To this end, we are backing the England International to keep his form and score at least one goal in this game.
