Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace prediction
Nottingham Forest are competing well on all fronts right now and have collected seven points from their last three Premier League games.
Sean Dyche's men followed up their 0-2 victory at Brentford last weekend with a 4-0 win over Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, as they concluded their league phase commitments.
Injury-hit Crystal Palace are struggling for results right now and are currently winless in their last 11 games across all competitions.
It is eight without a win in the Premier League for the Seagulls, who have slipped down into a somewhat precarious position in the table.
The form book very much points towards a Forest victory here, and with Palace missing some key firepower, a win to nil could be on the cards.
