Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
Matchday eight in the English Premier League will draw to a close with Nottingham Forest taking on Crystal Palace at the City Ground on Monday night. The Reds are in 10th place in the league standings after the first seven games, while the Eagles are down in 18th. Check out our match prediction below.
Since returning to the Premier League, Forest have faced Palace four times and have never been beaten by them (W1 D3 L0), though each of the last three matches have ended in a stalemate. The most recent meeting between these sides came at this venue and ended 1-1 in March this year.
Given their respective records this season, the Tricky Trees are currently showing up as the bookmakers’ favourite in this contest. However, the international break may have come at just the right time for a stuttering Palace, and a win here could prove to be the catalyst for a change in their fortunes. Let’s get into the key stats.

Nottingham Forest - Crystal Palace: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest have been one of the most improved sides this season, as they prepare to enter gameweek eight having only suffered a single league loss this term (W2 D4 L1).
The Reds have ground out points from tough fixtures, such as the 1-1 draw they managed against a rampant Chelsea ahead of the international break. They also took a point off Brighton and pulled off a shock win over Liverpool last month.
However, the hosts will be looking to improve their home record, having drawn two and lost one of their three games at the City Ground this term.
Forest have conceded the second-fewest goals in the top flight this season (6)!
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are having a shocker this season and are still winless after seven matches. Not since 1992-93 have they gone without a win in their first eight matches of a campaign.
The Eagles are now aiming to avoid a third consecutive defeat following a 2-1 loss to Everton and a 1-0 home defeat to Liverpool ahead of the international break.
Palace have played three away league games this season, losing two and drawing one. They also conceded two or more goals in each of those defeats.

Nottingham Forest & Crystal Palace Squad Analysis
Nottingham Forest will have to make do without the services of James Ward-Prowse, who was sent off in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea last time out.
The former Southampton man will be joined on the sidelines this week by Ibrahima Sangare and goalkeeper Mats Sels, who is ruled out with a muscle injury.
Danilo is still on his long road to recovery after that horror injury during the club's season-opener against Bournemouth and is only expected to return next year.
Forest’s chief playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White is flagged as a doubt due to an ankle issue!
Palace, on the other hand, could be without as many as six players this week, with Matheus Franca and Chadi Riad definitely ruled out owing to a rib and knee injury respectively.
The players flagged as doubts for the visitors include Adam Wharton (groin), Daniel Munoz (groin) Chris Richards (hamstring) and Cheick Doucoure (foot).

Our Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Nottingham Forest have made major improvements this season after barely avoiding the drop last term, and barring that defeat to Fulham last month, they have proved a handful for even the best teams in the top flight.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have struggled to get out of first gear this season and are still in search of their first victory. We fancy the hosts to claim the points in this one, but with favourable odds on offer, we will opt for the safety of our money back on the draw as our primary wager.
