Crystal Palace will be looking to continue their fine start to the new Premier League season on Saturday when they welcome Nottingham Forest to Selhurst Park.
Premier League Preview
It has been a fine start to the new Premier League season for Crystal Palace, and this weekend, the Eagles will be looking to move closer to the European positions in the standings. Palace will be very confident ahead of this fixture against Forest, as they have won two of their previous four in the Premier League.
Their most recent success was recorded at Old Trafford last weekend, as Joachim Andersen scored the only goal of the game to record a 1-0 win against Manchester United. The Eagles played excellently on the counter-attack in that fixture, and they defended really well to hold on to maximum points against United. Roy Hodgson made history last weekend, as he became the first manager in Premier League history to go five without defeat in consecutive trips to Old Trafford.
Nottingham Forest have made a reliable start to the season, and they could move into the top half of the standings with maximum points against Palace on the road this weekend. They battled well in their most recent league fixture, as they secured a point at the City Ground against Brentford.
Despite being reduced to ten men following a red card to Moussa Niakhate, Forest responded well to going behind, and dually deserved a point following Nicolas Dominguez’s effort with just under half an hour remaining. But, Steve Cooper will be hoping that his side can get back into the win column this weekend.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Head to Head
This exact fixture between the sides last season saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw in May. However, Forest were 1-0 winners in the first meeting between the sides. The results last season mean that Forest are now unbeaten in their last five league matches against Palace.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Forest’s record in this fixture is very solid, as they have avoided defeat in their previous five visits to Selhurst Park. Therefore, a chance could be taken on Forest to extend that solid record by landing maximum points in London on Saturday.
