Command Analysis
Nottingham Forest
EnglandCurrent form
Nottingham Forest has become the Premier League's main season opener. The rather modest team was not the main contender for European Cup places, but for a long time it was in the top 3. In the end, there was a decent decline, obviously not enough experience of fighting at the highest level in such a fierce competition.
Nevertheless, with a round to go, the Nuno Espirito Santo team has a chance to finish in the top 5. To do this, you need to win by yourself today and hope for a loss of points from Aston Villa or Newcastle. In addition, Nottingham Forest already has a ticket to the Conference League in their pocket, and if they win against Chelsea, the team will play in the Europa League next season.
Nottingham Forest had not lost in the last three rounds. However, it is unlikely that a 2-2 draw with Leicester can be counted as an asset, and a peaceful outcome in the confrontation with Crystal Palace (1-1) was also not part of the team's plans. Nevertheless, in the previous round, the foresters made the most of themselves and achieved a difficult 2-1 away victory over West Ham. Nuno Espirito Santo's team played in their usual style: they scored a quick goal, gave the ball to the opponent, and clearly blocked the approaches to their penalty area.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Avoniyi, who underwent abdominal surgery after a terrible collision with a barbell in the game against Leicester, will not play today.

Chelsea
EnglandCurrent form
Under the leadership of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea has made significant progress this season anyway. With a round to go, the Londoners have a real chance to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in a long time. Plus, next week they will fight for the Conference League title with Spanish Betis. In the semi-finals of the third most important European club tournament, the aristocrats confidently passed Djurgården (4-1 away and 1-0 home wins).
By the final round in the Premier League, Chelsea is in fifth place in the table. The Londoners have 66 points, the same number as Aston Villa, which is below, and Newcastle, which is in fourth position. A victory today, under any circumstances, guarantees Chelsea a ticket to the Champions League for next season, as the team has a serious advantage over Aston Villa in terms of goal difference.
Chelsea is holding the end of the season in the Premier League successfully – four wins in the last five matches. However, the only defeat happened on the road in a game with a direct competitor for the top 5, Newcastle, with a score of 0.:2. In general, the aristocrats have not performed well during the season, with only 25 points scored, which is only the 11th figure in the Premier League.

1.56Tip and bets
The tournament situation in the fight for a place in the Champions League is very tense, in the upcoming match every goal will definitely be worth its weight in gold, no one will take unnecessary risks. Nottingham Forest is notable for its ability to maintain its advantage. Chelsea, if they manage to score first, will also not seek to increase the gap at any cost. It is worth paying attention to the statistics, which pushes you to choose a possible bet for a total of less. So, in seven of the eight previous matches of the Foresters in the Premier League, more than two goals were not scored. The Aristocrats have scored more than three goals in only two of the last ten league matches. We believe that with a high degree of probability, the outcome of the match will be decided by one or two goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of less than three goals for a coefficient of 1.77
Betting on the outcome
There is no doubt that Nottingham Forest has had a decent decline at the end of the season, but today in the home game, the players will definitely give their best to achieve victory. Chelsea has not been playing well on the road during the season: a modest 25 points in 18 matches played. Plus, in the previous five face-to-face confrontations, the aristocrats had beaten the foresters only once. We think that the bookmakers in this pair are somewhat overestimating the possibilities of the guests.
The second bet is that Nottingham Forest will not lose with odds of 1.72
Combined bid
Based on our expectations, it is logical to play a combined bet with a high coefficient for Nottingham Forest with a total of less than 2.5 goals. This betting option was played in three of the five previous face-to-face meetings.
Betting Tip – Nottingham Forest will not lose and the total is less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 3.20
