WLLDDW ⚖

Nottingham Forest
WLLWLL
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Brentford in Premier League action, Nottingham Forest and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Nottingham Forest managed 55% possession and 15 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. For their opponents, Brentford had 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Kevin Schade (44') and Yoane Wissa (70') scored for Brentford.
The strike force from Nottingham Forest have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past 6 encounters, recording the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, The Reds have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 6. That trend might not be carried forward here, however.
Pre-game facts show that Nottingham Forest:
- have not won against Crystal Palace when they've played them away from home in the last 3 league matches.
- remain unbeaten by Crystal Palace when having played them away from home in the previous 7 league games. Travelling fans have really enjoyed these clashes.

🗞️ Team News: Crystal Palace
Cheick Doucouré (Knee surgery) and Chadi Riad (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Crystal Palace gaffer Oliver Glasner.
It looks as if The Eagles should opt for a 4-4-2 formation for this one and select Dean Henderson, Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi, Daniel Munoz, Daichi Kamada, Adam Wharton, Tyrick Mitchell, Ismaila Sarr, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
📰 Team News: Nottingham Forest
We believe The Reds could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Matz Sels, Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, Neco Williams, Nicolas Dominguez, Ryan Yates, Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood.
✨ Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Nottingham Forest might have a difficult job to find the net against this Crystal Palace lineup who should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even match with a 1-0 victory for Crystal Palace when the referee blows for full-time.
Let’s see how it plays out.
