Chelsea take on the visitors Nottingham in the round 36 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, May 13th at Stamford Bridge (London).
"Chelsea" finally managed to win. Under different circumstances, a 3-1 victory, even away from home against "Bournemouth," would hardly be considered a significant event. Especially since the Premier League newcomer had already resolved all their tournament issues by that time, and the "aristocrats" only managed to break the deadlock in the final stages; the score remained level until the 82nd minute. However, before that, the "Blues" had been unable to secure a victory for 9 consecutive matches, losing their last 6 games. Lampard, to his own misfortune, should have been glad that he agreed to manage his home team until the summer. Although, of course, the season turned out to be a failure regardless. After all, "Chelsea," for the first time in years, found themselves outside the European qualification zone. It was already officially clear by the beginning of May, even with several games remaining. Well, their Mudryk and company can now experiment to their heart's content.

"Nottingham Forest" are playing their first season in the Premier League in this century. Moreover, they had to hang around below the top flight for over a quarter of a century. Nevertheless, the "Forest" were understandably seen as underdogs. After all, Steve Cooper dramatically lifted his team from the Championship mid-table, securing promotion to the Premier League through the playoffs. It seemed that the management had been overzealous in their attempts to strengthen the squad, signing too many players. However, the team proved to be competitive enough in the end. They reached the semifinals of the League Cup, and most importantly, the newcomers are currently above the relegation zone in the Premier League table. It's crucial that they managed to gather momentum at the right time, towards the end of the season. First, they surprised with a victory over ambitious "Brighton" back in April. And most importantly, in the last match, facing a direct competitor, they managed to win 4-3 against "Southampton." A brace from Avonio, who had only scored four times before, and Gibbs-White's goal and assist sealed the victory. It is these three points against the "Saints" that separate the team from the relegation zone.
In previous years, when playing in cup competitions, "Chelsea" consistently defeated underdogs. However, since their promotion to the Premier League, "Nottingham Forest" secured a creditable 1-1 draw against them, despite the grandeur of the opponent. Bookmakers consider "Chelsea" as the favorite in this match. However, they have not been shining, while the "Forest" still have unresolved matters in the tournament. We recommend betting on "Nottingham Forest" with a handicap of "+1.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Nottingham to win with +1.5 handicap.
