Forest Green vs Chelsea U21 tips and predictions

Jury's still out in this one

There are arguments to be made for both sides in this clash so be careful when picking a winner. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Having created something of a fortress against pressure, Forest Green have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 matches, while Chelsea U21 have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 3 away matches.

It's felt that both sides can score as they can both be dangerous in possession. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that makes more sense.

Forest Green have drawn 6 of their last 17 matches added to the fact that Chelsea U21 have drawn 3 of their last 5 away games. Their most recent tied match was when they shared the spoils with Cheltenham in October and while any draw is predicted, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw is food for thought. Stalemate is the pick after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
