Nottingham vs Chelsea Prediction & Tips
The ‘Tricky Trees’ under Nuno Espírito Santo have become one of the great revelations of this season. Seventh in the table and with a real chance of fighting for a Champions League ticket with one game to go, not even the most loyal Nottingham fans expected such progress. The team shows a pragmatic style, with emphasis on a solid defence, which this year is among the best in the Premier League. They are particularly confident at home: in goals conceded at home, they share top spot with Liverpool.
For Chelsea, the duel at the City Ground is the real synthesis of their season. Only victory guarantees the Londoners a top-five finish and therefore a place in next season’s Champions League. Any other result gives the initiative to their direct rivals – Aston Villa and Newcastle – and if they do not fail, the Blues will be out of the continental competition.
