Nottingham Forest have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. Despite their inconsistent results, Forest have managed to secure a respectable 7th position in the Premier League with 65 points from 37 games. The team have been involved in some closely contested matches, with four of their last six games ending with a goal difference of just one. Notably, Forest have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches. Their attacking prowess has been evident, however, with both teams scoring in 67% of their recent games and an average of 2.67 total goals per match. The Reds' away form has been particularly impressive, securing victories against West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur in their last three away fixtures.

Chelsea

Chelsea have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, securing five wins in their last six matches across all competitions. The Blues are currently enjoying a three-match winning streak in the Premier League, which has helped them climb to fifth position in the table with 66 points from 37 games. Their defensive solidity is particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets in the last six games and only 0.67 goals conceded per game on average. Chelsea's attacking prowess was on full display in their Europa Conference League match against Djurgardens IF, where they netted four goals away from home. Despite a minor setback with a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United, Chelsea have bounced back strongly, demonstrating their resilience and consistency. Their recent run of form suggests they are finishing the season strongly, with a good balance between offensive output and defensive stability.

Recent home/away form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with a concerning run of three consecutive defeats prior to their most recent match. Despite their relatively high league position, Forest have struggled to find the back of the net at home, scoring just four goals in their last six games at the City Ground. Defensively, they've shown some resilience, keeping two clean sheets against formidable opponents Manchester United and Manchester City. However, their goal-scoring woes are reflected in the fact that 83% of their recent home matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. Interestingly, Forest have managed to upset the odds against top-tier opposition, securing wins against both Manchester clubs, which highlights their potential to spring surprises on their home turf despite their overall inconsistent form.

Chelsea

Chelsea's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Blues showing both promise and inconsistency on their travels. Despite a recent setback against Newcastle United, Chelsea have won three of their last six away matches, including impressive victories in the Europa Conference League. The team have been particularly prolific in European competition, netting seven goals across two away fixtures against Djurgardens IF and Legia Warszawa. Defensively, Chelsea have been relatively solid, conceding just five goals in their last six away games and keeping two clean sheets. Their goal difference of +4 over this period suggests a positive overall performance, although the team have struggled to find the net in some Premier League encounters, as evidenced by their goalless draw with Brentford and narrow defeats to Arsenal and Newcastle. Interestingly, Chelsea's away matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games featuring over 2.5 goals.
