On Monday night, Nottingham Forest will host Crystal Palace at the City Ground in the concluding match of Matchday eight in the English Premier League.
Nottingham Forest:
- Currently sitting in 10th place after seven games.
- Have an unbeaten record against Crystal Palace since returning to the Premier League (W1 D3 L0).
- The last three matches with Palace have ended in draws, including a 1-1 stalemate at this venue in March.
Crystal Palace:
- Positioned 18th, in the relegation zone.
- Their form this season has been inconsistent, leading to their current standing.
- The international break may have provided a much-needed reset, and a win could be pivotal in turning around their fortunes.
Prediction: Given Forest’s strong head-to-head record and home advantage, they will likely be favored. However, Palace will be looking to capitalize on the break to regain form. A close match is expected, but Nottingham Forest could edge this one out for a narrow victory.
