Forest can hold their own at Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace sit fifteenth after collecting four points from five matches while Nottingham Forest hold thirteenth with five points from the same number of games. Palace have mixed results lately including two wins two defeats and one draw but they concede 2.2 goals a game overall and 3.5 at home. Forest keep things tighter away from home conceding just 1.5 goals a game on their travels and they score two goals a game on the road. The sides share a long history of stalemates with eight draws across their last ten meetings and only one of those games produced more than two goals. Palace have seen both teams score in three of their five league outings yet Forest have managed clean sheets in one of five and failed to score in three. The low scoring pattern from past encounters lines up with Forest’s defensive record this season. Expect a compact contest where Forest stay organised and limit Palace’s chances in the final third.
