Nottingham Forest is coming into this match not playing in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 2 of their last 3 matches as well as 3 of their last 5 matches. They are coming off of a 3-1 away win in their last match, but that also came against Sheffield United who has already been relegated. They failed to score a goal in each of their last 2 matches prior to that win, and their defense has also allowed at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches. Even when playing at home, they have 3 losses in their last 6 matches there with just 1 win in that span. They are going up against a Chelsea side that has been in very good form in their recent matches as they have been improving a lot over the last few weeks. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 5 league matches and they have kept clean sheets in 3 of those. Their attack has also been on fire in that span as they have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 league matches, and they have also outscored their opponents 7-0 in their last 2 matches alone. Chelsea has not been winning many of these matches away from home, but this is the spot for them to finally get an away win with the confidence they have after scoring 5 goals in their last match. Nottingham Forest is currently safe in the last spot above the relegation zone and considering how well Chelsea has been playing, Nottingham Forest will be more cautious in this match as they desperately need a point which would keep their fate in their own hands going into their final match. That will be a dangerous mindset against this attack though and Chelsea has taken the whole season to find rhythm with their group of players, but now they have it and will be pushing to finish the season strong as they are going to be a force in the league next year. Chelsea will win this match and collect all 3 points here.
