Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace Odds
Before the match kicks off, the betting odds reflect the competitive nature of this fixture. According to Betfred:
Match Predictions
Nottingham Forest find themselves in a tricky situation, having won just one of their last six matches and are currently winless in their last three games. This evening’s fixture offers the perfect opportunity for them to bounce back, especially as they face a Crystal Palace side that has struggled to find its footing in the league.
With Forest positioned 12th in the table, a victory would thrust them back into the top eight—just four points off the top four which would compound an impressive start to their season where they have managed just one loss in their league campaign thus far. Yet, the City Ground has not proven a fortress this season; Forest will be hunting for their first home win after four unsuccessful attempts.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace arrives at the City Ground on the search for their first league win of the 2024 season, following a disappointing relegation to the bottom three after a loss to Liverpool prior to the international break. Oliver Glasner’s tenure began with significant promise, yet the Eagles have been unable to replicate last season’s form, securing just one point and failing to tally any wins away from home thus far.
Historically speaking, matches between these two sides have been closely contested, with five of their last six encounters ending in draws—including their latest three face-offs. Furthermore, Nottingham Forest boasts an impressive seven-match unbeaten streak against Crystal Palace, clinching victory in an overwhelming number of their meetings. The statistics seem to favor a repeat of shared points tonight, with a predicted scoreline of 1-1.
Betting Tips
For fans looking to place a wager, consider Chris Wood, who leads Nottingham Forest’s scoring chart with four goals in his first seven league appearances this season. Given the current dynamics of the match and both sides’ recent performances, betting on a 1-1 draw at generous odds of 11/2 seems to be an enticing proposition, along with Chris Wood to score at 9/4.
