Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace: Premier League Prediction Match Details
The final match of the mouthwatering Premier League round-eight game will see Nottingham Forest take on Crystal Palace at the City Ground on Monday. The two sides are winless in each of their last three league matches.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest enters into this contest on the back of a three-match winless streak in the league. Forest have made an impressive start to the new campaign, having suffered only one defeat against Fulham at home in their opening seven league games. Before the international break, they held Chelsea to a dramatic 1-1 draw despite being reduced to 10 men in the second half of the game. Currently, Forest sits 12th in the league table with 10 points, and they have scored seven league goals while conceding six.
Under Nuno Espirito Santos’s guidance this season, Forest have failed to win any of their opening three league matches, including back-to-back draws and a defeat against Fulham. During the run, they have conceded a goal in each of their three home games.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Palace, despite a spectacular performance under the guidance of Oliver Glasner last season, have struggled with form in the new campaign. Palace are still in great hunt for their first Premier League win of the season, having already lost four games and played three draws. Palace before the international break suffered their second consecutive league losses to Liverpool and Everton, and Glasner will be hoping the international break can help set the tone right for Palace. They now find themselves hovering dangerously in the relegation zone with only three points from the opening seven league games.
Palace have struggled with their on the road league matches, having suffered two defeats to Brentford and Everton but shared spills with Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge. One big concern for Oliver Glasner during this period is their defensive vulnerability having conceded in each of the games.
