Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Chelsea and Nottm Forest fans may have some reason for celebration ahead as their clubs go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the WDW market. The two teams have plenty in attack, as is borne out by the stats and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding much to pick between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
