Nottingham Forest hosts Chelsea at The City Ground in a match from Premier League’s 18th round. Let’s see what we can tell you about it in our correct football prediction for today. Here we go!
Despite spending a lot of money for new signings, Nottingham Forest are having serious trouble since their return to the Prem. The former European champions are currently 19th in the standings with just 13 points won. It’s still not “game over” for them, but they need to improve in order to improve their chances of survival. Steve Cooper is still keeping his job, but it could change soon if the team don’t improve.
In their first game since the World Cup break, Forest paid a visit to Manchester United but suffered a 0-3 defeat at the Old Trafford. Now Cooper could try some changes in the line-up. Players like O’Brien, Dennis, Surridge and Toffolo could start against Chelsea.
Chelsea stopped a long run of consecutive games without a win after the World Cup break. Graham Potter’s boys hosted Bournemouth at home and celebrated a 2-0 win at the Stamford Bridge. Both goals were scored in the first half when Kai Havertz and Mason Mount scored for the former champions.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started from the bench against Bournemouth, but he could be included in the line-up on Sunday. The Gabonese scored just one goal in the Prem since his move to Chelsea, but surely he can do much better. Maybe he just needs a little bit time to adapt to his new team after his transfer from Barcelona.
That’s the correct football prediction for the Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea. Can the hosts finally show a better face? Against Chelsea it’s going to be difficult, but not impossible. The Blues are favorites, but playing away from home is always challenging in this league.
