Command Analysis
Nottingham Forest
EnglandCurrent form
At the start of the season, https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk target=_blank rel=noopener>Nottingham Forest made a strong bid to be a solid mid-table Premier League team ready to spring a surprise. In seven rounds played, the Foresters have suffered only one defeat, failing to cope with Fulham at home. With 10 points scored, the team approaches the upcoming match in 12th place in the table and in case of victory today will be able to rise straight to eighth place.
Nuno Espirito Santo obviously worked productively with the defense in the off-season – only six goals conceded. We do not see open football from the “foresters”, they rely more on counterattacks. It is not surprising with such tactics that they scored eight of their total ten points away. It was on the road that Nottingham Forest managed to present two sensational results when they beat Liverpool with a minimal score of 1:0 and drew with Chelsea in London (1:1). Chris Wood stands out in the attack, he has already scored four goals, which is more than half of all the club’s goals.
It should be noted that last week the federation additionally reviewed the episodes of the game against Brighton with the expulsions of Nuno Espirito Santo and Morgan Gibbs-White. As a result, the coach received an additional three matches of disqualification for inappropriate behavior and will be able to manage the actions of his charges from the bench only in the 11th round. Gibbs-White was given one more game - he will miss the match against Crystal Palace.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gibbs-White and Ward-Prowse will serve suspensions, while Danilo and Sangare are out today due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in seven of their last eight Premier League games
- Nottingham Forest have drawn with their opponents at half-time in four of their last five games
- No more than two goals have been scored in six of the Foresters' last seven league matches
Probable line-up : Sels - Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno - Yates, Anderson - Elanga, Silva, Hudson-Odoi - Wood.
Crystal Palace
EnglandCurrent form
Crystal Palace are having one of the worst starts to the Premier League in recent years. In seven games played, the Eagles have only three points, have not won a single game and are in 18th place in the relegation zone. The only positive results are draws with Chelsea (1:1) and Manchester United (0:0). The team is weak in attack, having scored only five goals. In the last round before the international break, the Londoners lost to Liverpool with a minimal score of 0:1, having scored five shots on target.
Oliver Glasner men have achieved their greatest success so far in the League Cup, where they managed to beat Norwich (4:0) and QPR (2:1), thus reaching the 1/8 finals.
If at the end of last season Oliver Glasner brought a lot of new colors and interesting tactical decisions to the game of Crystal Palace, now his schemes do not work at all. There are active rumors about the possible resignation of the specialist, and the option of appointing David Moyes as a replacement is being considered.
Disqualifications and injuries
Riyad, Richards, Franca and Doucoure are all out through injury. Turner is unable to play against Nottingham Forest due to his loan deal. Wharton and Munoz are doubtful.
Interesting trends for betting
- Crystal Palace have not scored more than three goals in six of their last seven Premier League games
- In four of the Glassmakers' previous five matches, the first half ended with a 1-0 score
- Crystal Palace have not lost in shots on target in three of their last four matches
Probable line-up : Henderson - Lacroix, Guehi, Chalobah - Klyne, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell - Sarr, Eze - Nketiah.

1.77Tip and bets
Nottingham Forest deservedly receives the status of favorite in the bookmakers' line at home. The "foresters" have been playing solidly in the opening period, have noticeably improved in defense, have lost only once in seven rounds played, the team does not allow itself to have any outright failures. Crystal Palace, on the contrary, has little success, lacks stability, the attack does not show itself at all and it is unlikely that today the Londoners will be able to win their first victory of the season. Moreover, they will have to play against an inconvenient opponent, whom the "glaziers" have not beaten in the last eight face-to-face confrontations.
Our prediction is a Nottingham Forest win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.72
Bet on total
Crystal Palace have obvious problems in attack, the Londoners have scored only five goals. Nottingham Forest are clearly betting on defense, not taking unnecessary risks. It is unlikely that we will see more than two goals today, especially since in the last five head-to-head matches the bet on the total under 2.5 goals has paid off.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.75
Bet on the exact difference in the score
It cannot be said that there is a huge gap in class between the teams. It is just that the hosts are performing better this season. We do not think that Nottingham Forest will secure a crushing victory today, especially considering that the last two victories in personal meetings the Foresters achieved with a minimum score of 1:0.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest win by one or two goals with odds of 2.75
