Form & Head-to-Head

• Head-to-Head:In the last 5 Premier League meetings between these two teams, Chelsea clearly dominates with 3 wins, 1 draw, and only 1 loss. Their most recent encounter in May 2025 saw The Blues win 1-0 away. Previously, they also secured a 3-2 victory at City Ground in May 2024, while Nottingham only managed one win, 1-0, in the 2023/24 season. Clearly, Chelsea remains a tough rival for the Reds.
• Chelsea Form:The Blues are gradually regaining consistency. Coach Enzo Maresca’s side has won 3 of their last 4 matches across all competitions, including victories over Liverpool (2-1) and Benfica (1-0). Their attack has become more effective, scoring in 5 consecutive games, while their defense is also showing marked improvement.
• Nottingham Form:The team is currently in crisis. The City Ground side has gone 5 matches without a win, including 3 straight losses to Newcastle (0-2), Midtjylland (2-3), and Sunderland (0-1). Their weak defense often concedes early goals, and their offense struggles to create chances. Given their current form, coach Ange Postecoglou’s squad will need a major effort to earn points against Chelsea.
