Match preview

Nottingham Forest host Chelsea in the Premier League on 18 October 2025. Nottingham Forest sit 16th on 44 points and Chelsea are 10th on 52. Nottingham Forest have won 0 of their last 5 (LLDLL), while Chelsea have won 3 of 5 (LWLWW). In their last 1 meetings, Nottingham Forest won 1, Chelsea won 0 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
