FW Predictions for Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace will be hoping to remain in the top half of the Premier League table before the mid-season break by avoiding defeat away at Nottingham Forest this weekend. The hosts knocked Tottenham out of the League Cup in midweek and will be looking to continue where they left off against the Eagles.
Contents
Draw
The last league meeting between these two clubs ended in a draw and we're backing Saturday's clash to end up being a stalemate as well. Nottingham Forest have drawn two of their last four league games while Crystal Palace have seen two of their last four away games in all competitions end all square. Both teams have proven to be tougher to beat of late with Palace only losing one of their last six outings and Forest only losing two of theirs.
Under 2.5 Goals
There is a good chance that Saturday's clash at The City Ground will be tight and tense throughout, without much in the way of goalmouth action. Three of the last five competitive and non-competitive meetings between these two clubs have ended with under 2.5 goals being scored. Four of the hosts' and three of the visitors' last six outings in league and cup have witnessed fewer than three goals cored, adding further weight to our prediction.

Will Forest move off the bottom of the table before the mid-season break?
Nottingham Forest's last league game was also at home where they took on another team from the capital, Brentford. Gibbs-White fired Forest in front after 20-minutes following good work from Dennis who claimed an assist. However, Brentford equalised in first-half stoppage-time and then took the lead 15-minutes from the end. As time ticked away it looked like Firest were going to lose yet again until stoppage-time when Jorgensen put through his own goal to rescue Forest a share of the spoils.
Nottingham Forest Predicted lineup – Henderson, Cook, Aurier, McKenna, Williams, Kouyaté, Freuler, Gibbs-White, Yates, Dennis & Johnson
Crystal Palace had to come from behind away at West Ham to secure an impressive away win. The Hammers took the lead in the 20th-minute but the teams went in level at the break thanks to a 41st-minute equaliser from Zaha. As the game edged toward its finish, it looked like both teams were going to share the points. However, deep into stoppage-time, Zaha setup Olise who made no mistake to pinch all 3pts for the Eagles.
Crystal Palace Predicted lineup – Guaita, Clyne, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell, Schlupp, Eze, Doucouré, Olise, Ayew & Zaha
