Nottingham Forest will need the City Ground to play its part when they take on Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend. And it’s a tough ask for Burnley who visit Tottenham and need nothing short of a win to have any chance of avoiding relegation. We’ve looked through the games in this week’s pools coupon and provided recent form and head-to-head statistics for five matches we think have the potential to end in a draw.
5 – Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea
Nottingham Forest beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge back in September and drew 1-1 and 2-2 with the Blues in their Premier League meetings last season.
Nottingham Forest ended a four-match winless run and picked up a vital 3-1 victory at Sheffield United last weekend. They are currently 17th and 3-points clear of the drop zone.
Chelsea won 2-0 hosting Tottenham and 5-0 hosting West Ham in their last two matches, but have failed to win their last six matches away from home. They drew 2-2 with Aston Villa in their last Premier League game on the road.

33 Chelsea wins

6 – Tottenham vs Burnley
Tottenham beat Burnley 5-2 in the reverse fixture back in September and won 1-0 hosting the Clarets in the 3rd round of the FA Cup in January.
Tottenham’s hopes of finishing in the top-4 have taken a hit recently with defeats in their last four matches on the trot. However, they’ve faced Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in that run.
Burnley won 4-1 at Sheffield United and drew 1-1 with Manchester United in their last two away games, but a 4-1 defeat hosting Newcastle last weekend leaves the Clarets needing to win their final two matches to have any chance of avoiding the drop.

16 – Cadiz vs Getafe
Three of the last four meetings between Cadiz and Getafe in Spain’s La Liga have ended in a draw, but Getafe won 1-0 in the reverse fixture this season.
Cadiz will not have been too surprised in their 3-0 loss to title winners Real Madrid last weekend, but they’ve now earned just 1-point in their last four matches. Cadiz are 18th and are 6-points from safety with four games to play.
Getafe are 10th and 9-points off a Europa Conference League spot. They’ve managed just one win from their last eight league games on the road.

Dortmund have won four and drawn three of their last seven league encounters with Mainz. It finished 1-1 in the reverse fixture this season.
Mainz are 1-point from safety with two games to play in the Bundesliga. They are unbeaten in their last seven matches, but the last three on the bounce have ended in draws with Freiburg (1-1), Cologne (1-1) and Heidenheim (1-1).
