The Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea fixture on Sunday at the City Ground offers an intriguing Bet Builder opportunity. Our experts suggest a Bet Builder of Chelsea to win (23/20), Over 2.5 goals (8/11) and Both Teams to Score (8/13).
Nottingham Forest have averaged 1.78 points per game at home while Chelsea have managed just 1.39 PPG on the road, and Forest’s last five home league outings read W-W-L-L-D.
Conversely, Chelsea’s last five away matches across all competitions read W-W-W-D-L, though in the Premier League, they’ve secured just one win, one draw and suffered three defeats, adding an unpredictable edge.
Their previous six head-to-head meetings have delivered an average of three goals and seen both teams score in 63 per cent of those fixtures, underpinning the Over 2.5 and BTTS angles.
Forest’s home xG of 1.47 versus xGA of 1.57 against Chelsea’s away xG of 1.57 versus xGA of 1.33 further hints at an open contest with plenty of action.
Chelsea to win (23/20) 5k2f12
Research: – Chelsea have been first to score in 61 per cent of their away matches this season, underlining their ability to seize early control. – They average 13.5 shots per away game, providing a platform for goals and justifying confidence in a straight-win selection. – In their last five away outings across all competitions they’ve recorded W-W-W-D-L, demonstrating they can grind out results even when coming to tough venues.
Chelsea’s points per game I don’t consider to be a reliable metric, as Chelsea have turned the corner on poor spells earlier in the season. The same is true of Forest but in reverse. They seemed a certainty to claim a Champions League spot a few months back, but their current form is not great, dropping points in five of the last seven (two draws, three losses).
