Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: Visitors to give Forest the blues

It’s been a tough start to Ange Postecoglou’s tenure as Nottingham Forest manager and it’s hard to see the Tricky Trees’ fortunes changing when they host Chelsea at the City Ground in the Premier League’s lunchtime kick-off on Saturday (12:30 BST, TNT Sports 1).

An end-to-end game can be expected by the River Trent and here you can find our Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Odds

Chelsea to win

Losing just one of their last 12 games in all competitions against Forest, Chelsea have a strong record when it comes to facing the East Midlands outfit.

This current Forest side appear to be a shadow of the team who were pipped by Chelsea to a Champions League place last season under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Postecoglou has failed to win any of his seven games in charge of the Reds and it’s hard to see them getting anything for Saturday’s game, even if the Blues are having to cope with a number of injuries at present.

Both teams to score

With both teams scoring in four of the last six Premier League meetings between these sides, this is a fixture that tends to throw up plenty of goals.

While Chelsea are expected to win on Saturday, Enzo Maresca’s side have conceded in all of their five away games in all competitions this season, with even Lincoln City getting on the scoresheet in their Carabao Cup encounter last month.

Forest might be struggling for wins, but they have attacking threats in their line-up and at home it would be little surprise if they found a way past this Blues defence, even if it is in a losing cause.

Joao Pedro anytime goalscorer

With so many injuries to deal with at Stamford Bridge, especially in the final third of the field, the onus is on Brazilian forward Joao Pedro to deliver the goals.

The South American will certainly have positive memories of his last trip to the City Ground, when playing for Brighton & Hove Albion.

Coming off the bench early to score a brace of goals against the Tricky Trees in the 2023/24 Premier League season, the former Seagulls forward has shown how he can shine at the home of the Reds.

Joao Pedro to score anytime on Saturday completes this Bet Builder that comes in at attractive odds of 9/2.
