On October 18, one of the Premier League underdogs, Nottingham Forest, will host the renowned Chelsea side at the City Ground.

At the moment, Nottingham Forest sits 17th in the league table. In seven matches, the team has managed only one win and two draws. Both at home and away, Forest’s performances have been poor, with frequent heavy defeats.

Despite numerous injuries, Chelsea appear to be recovering after back-to-back losses to Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion. In the previous round, the Londoners edged out last year’s champions Liverpool. However, it was far from a convincing win — the decisive goal came only in stoppage time.

Prediction for the Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea

This is a clear clash between a favorite and an outsider, but it won’t exactly be a David vs Goliath story. Nottingham Forest’s only theoretical advantage is playing at home, though the statistics show they rarely capitalize on it. The outcome seems almost predetermined — our bet is on a Chelsea victory.
