2.57Tip and bets
Chelsea is unlikely to field their strongest lineup in today's match against Nottingham Forest in the league. The coach will probably prioritize the squad. However, the depth of talent at Chelsea is among the best in European football, allowing for rotation without a significant drop in quality. It seems unlikely that Gent will have any chance against such an opponent in London.
We believe the visitors have little chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Chelsea. This bet is offered at odds of 1.75.
Total Goals Bet
Chelsea is determined to extend its winning streak and start its Europa Conference League campaign with a victory. While some rotation will occur, the Blues are expected to play aggressively and dominate the attack. Gent will have minimal chances of a comeback but the match at Stamford Bridge poses a significant challenge for them, and their motivation will be high. A goal exchange is quite likely.

As the favorite, Chelsea is likely to dominate for the full 90 minutes, and they should secure a convincing win on corner kicks.
