Premier League storm, Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea, can Forest enter the Champions League?

Nottingham Forest: The dark horse is qualifying for the Champions League, and home pressure and hidden dangers coexist

Nottingham Forest rose as a "dark horse" this season, ranking 7th with 65 points after 37 rounds, only 1 point behind Chelsea. All three points must be scored in this game, and hope that other teams will lose points in order to have a chance to advance to the Champions League, so they are extremely determined to fight.

has only achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the last 8 rounds of the league, and its condition has fluctuated greatly, but the last round of away defeat to West Ham United 2-1 retained the hope of fighting for four. He has 1 draw and 2 losses in the last three rounds of home court, and his performance has declined significantly.

The offensive end focuses on combining rapid counterattack and positional battles. High center forwards Wood (contributed key goals this season) and Gibbs White are the core scoring points. The team has scored a total of 58 goals, but the offensive efficiency has declined recently (average of 0.9 goals in the last 10 games).

The defensive end Mirenkovic conceded 1.2 goals per game, but set-piece defense is a weakness, conceding goals in the last 8 games, and the defense is insufficient stability.

The main central defender Murillo (ankle injury) is suspected of playing. If he is absent, it will weaken the defensive hardness; forward Avoniyi (recovered after surgery) is confirmed to be absent, which will affect the depth of the offensive.

Chelsea: Seek stability in away games and strive to ensure the Champions League seat

Chelsea ranks fifth with 66 points. If you win this game, you can lock in the Champions League qualification, and your fighting spirit is also high. He has been better than his opponent in recent years, with 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 rounds, including defeating strong teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool, showing his resilience to compete for the four.

's away performance is average, with 5 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in 17 away games this season, but his last 4 away games have 3 wins and 1 draw, and his away game has rebounded.

The attacking end Palmer and Jackson contributed 35 goals and 18 assists, but Jackson was suspended in this game and Nkunku was absent. The firepower may rely on the dispatch of midfielders Enzo and Gallagher and the wing breakthrough.

Average 1.16 goals per game on the defensive end, with a top five in the Premier League in terms of defense. The central defender combination Di Sasi/Badiacile is getting better, goalkeeper Sanchez completed 13 clean sheets, but occasionally made mistakes in set pieces.

The main forward Jackson (suspended), Nkunku and Fofana (surgery) are absent, their forward strength is damaged, and midfielder Muderick is suspended, but Sancho's return can enhance the rotation on the wing.

Balance of fighting spirit and pressure

Nottingham Forest needs to take a desperate attack, but the recent weakness of home court may limit efficiency. Chelsea needs to play steadily to avoid exposure of loopholes in defense due to radical tactics.

Institution initially pointed out that Chelsea gave 0.25 goals, but the subsequent confidence was insufficient, but the total number of goals was expected to be more than 2.75 goals, implying that both sides may attack. In the historical confrontation, Chelsea has the advantage in the last 10 games with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, but Forest has not suffered any losses in the last five matches, and it is a situation of 55.

Chelsea's overall strength and stability are better, and its away game has recently rebounded. If Forest's counterattack core Wood can effectively limit Forest, he is expected to win with field control tactics. However, Forest's home game may create threats through set pieces or quick counterattacks, and the game may be in a stalemate.

I personally think that the forests have a little less pressure in this game. I have already obtained the qualification for the European Cup that has been away for 30 years. If I can get the qualification for the Champions League one step forward, it is fine, but if I can't get it, I'll beg. Moreover, there are no pursuers behind, and the stable European Union can be regarded as a modest advance and retreat. Chelsea is different. Chelsea doesn't look down on the European Union at all. It is inevitable that there will be pressure when it wants to ensure the European war.

The popularity of this game must be at Chelsea. It is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the giants are still stronger than the forest. But are there any sects in the kings, princes, generals and ministers? Who stipulates that wealthy families must play in the Champions League? Xiao Forestlin also has the ability to fight in the Champions League. In this game, I am more optimistic that Nottingham Forest, who is lightly equipped, will score points at home, and will likely score three points to get a seat in the Champions League.
