🏆
Competition: Premier League
📺
Watch Live: Sky Sports Main Event
Monday Night Football features Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, with both teams eager to secure a crucial result.
Forest, having only lost once this season, will rely on their defensive resilience to maintain their solid form, while Palace, still winless, are under pressure to break their streak. Expect a tight and competitive contest at the City Ground.
⭐ Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace Best Bets
Both Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are likely to score in this Premier League clash. Forest have only kept one clean sheet in their last six games, while Palace have scored in eight of their last nine away fixtures.
Forest have conceded in 13 of 14 home games under Nuno Espírito Santo, which, coupled with Palace’s need for points and attacking potential, make it probable that both teams will find the back of the net. Additionally, Forest’s recent defensive vulnerabilities and Palace’s ability to generate scoring chances, even in tough fixtures, further support this outcome.

🔍 Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace Players to Watch
🔵 Eddie Nketiah
Eddie Nketiah has been fouled nine times in his four games for the Eagles this season. He has only played 317 minutes for them which means he is fouled every 35 minutes.
Forest are committing 14.33 fouls per home game this season. This is a big game for both sides. Palace are desperate to get their season up and running whilst a defeat for the hosts would undo most of the good work that they have achieved so far this season.

💻 Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace Form and Tactics
Nottingham Forest have started the season strongly, sitting 10th in the Premier League with only one defeat in their first seven matches. Their defensive resilience has been a key feature, conceding just six goals so far, one of the best records in the league.
However, their attacking output has been modest, with just seven goals scored. Despite some injury setbacks, including the absence of Morgan Gibbs-White, Forest have shown they can compete against top teams, notably earning a 1-1 draw at Chelsea and a 1-0 win over Liverpool, making them a tough opponent.
Crystal Palace have endured a tough start to the season, sitting 18th in the Premier League and still searching for their first win. Despite draws against Manchester United and Chelsea, they have struggled to build momentum, losing four of their seven matches.
Palace’s attacking form has also been underwhelming, with just five goals scored, and the team has been inconsistent defensively, conceding crucial goals in recent games. Manager Oliver Glasner faces pressure to turn things around, especially after back-to-back losses to Everton and Liverpool, as Palace look to break their winless run against Nottingham Forest
