LiontipsChelsea vs Nottingham Forest: betting tip (cf 3.20) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Liam Rosenor's resignation had a positive effect. However, so far only in the FA Cup, where the Londoners won with him, although the opponents were not the most difficult. Under the leadership of Calum MacFarlane, they managed to beat Leeds with a minimum score of 1-0 in the semifinals. For the first time in a long time, the aristocrats won back to zero. They have a final against Manchester City ahead of them, the only opportunity to win a trophy this season.
In the Premier League, with each round, Chelsea moves away from the top 5 and, consequently, from the Champions League next season. By the upcoming match, the Blues are in ninth place and are already 10 points behind the top five. This moment does not cause much surprise, because we have a series of five defeats in a row in the Premier League. The last victory dates back to March 4, when they managed to beat Aston Villa 4-1 on the road.
In the last round, Chelsea couldn't do anything against Brighton - they lost by a score of 0.:3. Before that, the Londoners lost 0-1 to Manchester United at home. The obvious problems from match to match can be seen in attack: five rounds without scoring goals. There is a game ahead against a comfortable opponent: in the previous four face-to-face meetings, the aristocrats did not lose to Nottingham Forest, won three times and ended one match in a draw.

Chelsea Gittens, Jorgensen and Estevao are in the infirmary. The appearance of Colville and James on the field is questionable.

Current form
Nottingham Forest is having a very busy season. The Foresters have not yet guaranteed themselves a residence permit for next season in the Premier League, but at the same time they are fighting to reach the Europa League finals. In the first semi-final match, Vitor Pereira's team defeated Aston Villa with a minimum score of 1-0, and the second leg will be played away on Thursday. There are no opportunities for full rotation of the staff. Due to injuries, Nottingham Forest cannot count on many players of the main squad who are either injured and definitely won't play in the near future, or have injuries. So, at the moment there are eight football players on this list at once.
Despite the numerous problems, the foresters are currently on a nine-match winless streak, taking into account all tournaments. Moreover, they had only won in the previous four matches, conceding only one goal in this winning stretch. In the last round of the Premier League, Nottingham Forest defeated Sunderland 5-0 on the road. The successful streak allowed them to leave the relegation zone, and the team is in 16th place for the upcoming match, pulling away from the red zone by five points.
It should be noted that Nottingham Forest has been successfully playing on the road throughout the season. The foresters scored 21 points in other arenas in the Premier League, which is the 11th record in the championship. Right now, Vitor Pereira's team is on a three-match winless away series.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nottingham Forest has significant problems with the squad. Victor, Savona and Hudson-Odoi will definitely not play today due to Pain injuries. Aina, Ndoye, Cunha, Sangare, Murillo are in question.

Tip and bets
Chelsea have suffered five defeats in a row in the Premier League and have not scored a single goal. Today, the Londoners have a good chance to break this unpleasant streak, even though the opponent is approaching the game at Stamford Bridge on a nine-match winless streak, taking into account all tournaments.
After the change of coach, the Londoners themselves won the FA Cup semi-finals against Leeds, which can give them confidence in their own abilities, especially against the background of the fact that they had not lost to Nottingham Forest in four previous face-to-face meetings, and in three cases they achieved victories. The main thing is the problems of foresters with the composition. In conditions of a busy schedule of games, when the second leg of the Europa League semi-final is ahead, this moment may become a key one, Vitor Pereira simply does not have a margin of safety, opportunities for a full rotation.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win with an Asian handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 2.10
Bet on the total
Chelsea's attack had not been fully effective for a long time, they had failed to score for five rounds in a row, although there were plenty of chances in many matches. Taking into account the personnel problems at Nottingham Forest, we expect that the Londoners will be able to prove themselves in attack today, and the foresters themselves are distinguished by their clear implementation. We expect that at least three goals will be scored in the match.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.67
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
It is important for Chelsea now not only to win and break the long series of failures, but also to do it as confidently as possible. With a busy schedule of performances and losses in the squad, Nottingham Forest hardly dares to keep a high tempo in the game throughout the match.
The betting tip is for Chelsea to win by two or three goals with a coefficient of 3.30
