Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace have seen it all in their last three matches. Against Ipswich, they came out empty-handed in a 2-3 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 4-0 win against Lech Poznan. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 0-0 draw against Leeds. Crystal Palace only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Selhurst Park in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded 12 goals.

Crystal Palace had their sights set on the Premier League title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Nottingham Forest Form

Nottingham Forest recorded a diverse set of results in their last three matches. They began with a 0-0 draw with Tottenham. A 1-2 win against Aston Villa followed, before a 0-1 defeat against Coventry in their most recent match. Nottingham Forest won four times in their last six away games in the Premier League, in which they drew once and lost once. They conceded seven goals while scoring 17 themselves.

They had their sights set on gold, but Nottingham Forest could soon be forced to readjust the target to qualifying for Europe.

There was no winner the three times, Crystal Palace played Nottingham Forest, as both apparently have a strong read on the game plan of this particular opponent. No doubt, the draw once again makes an appealing bet.

Crystal Palace have a record of one win, one draw and three defeats in the Premier League this season. Nottingham Forest are looking at one win, two draws and two defeats in the Premier League.
