Nottingham vs Crystal Palace: Match Preview And Prediction
Nottingham vs Crystal Palace: Nottingham Forest was instantly demoted four points for financial misconduct, sending them into the relegation zone. The Premier League standings now have the Reds third from the bottom. They are one place lower than Luton Town.
In the last five games across all competitions, Nottingham Forest has lost four and drawn one. Just one goal has been scored by the Reds in their last four games. Three goals or more were not scored in any of Nottingham Forest’s previous four head-to-head games with Crystal Palace.
When Nottingham Forest hosts Crystal Palace in Matchday No. 30 at The City Ground on Saturday afternoon, they will be vying for crucial redemption points. The Reds come into the match fresh off four losses and one tie in their last five games across all competitions.
They did have a right to win the road game against Luton Town two weeks ago and take all three points. But at Kenilworth Road, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team gave up a last-second equalizer.
From the start of the season, Crystal Palace has fluctuated in their play. Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze’s availability has had a significant impact on their outcomes. Eight points ahead of Nottingham Forest in the red zone, the Eagles are ranked 14th in the league standings. Because to the international break and FA Cup postponements, they haven’t played for three whole weeks.
Nottingham vs Crystal Palace: Betting Analysis
There has been no winner in four of the last seven head-to-head matches between these rivals. Nottingham Forest emerged victorious in the final three matches. The season’s rematch at Selhurst Park in October of last year ended without any goals. Three goals or more were not scored in any of the previous four head-to-head encounters.
Nottingham Forest needs a win badly in order to get out of the red zone, thus this is a huge game for them. Nevertheless, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team must find a way to score goals if they are to win. They have only scored one goal in their previous four games in all competitions, so they haven’t been too impressive lately in this area. Three goals or more were not typically scored in any of these four games.
By no means are Crystal Palace considered to be a formidable attacking team. Under new manager Oliver Glasner, they will ultimately play more visually appealing football, but this is not the kind of game where they should wing it. The Under 2.5 goals selection at 1.70 odds seems to be the best option because the previous four head-to-head games between these rivals saw a total of four goals scored.
Although Nottingham Forest is favored to win by the bookies, we don’t think it makes sense to support them at 2.20 odds. After all, of the previous five games across all competitions, the Reds had lost four and drawn one. When Crystal Palace last faced Luton in the league, they looked good.
