Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace Preview
Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping for a response from his side after failing to win their last three matches. Despite this recent setback, a home win will rank among the likely Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace predictions on Monday against a struggling rival.
Forest’s xG from open play is just 6.22, but they have been prolific from corners. From set pieces, they have accumulated an xG of 2.15, which ranks among the best in the division.
Defensively, Forest have given little away this season. To date, they have allowed an xGA of just 7.75 from open play.
Crystal Palace
Based on last season’s form, an away win would have been a popular Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace prediction.
However, things haven’t gone to plan for Oliver Glasner so far in 2024-25. Palace sit in the bottom three places of the league standings and have suffered successive defeats that have significantly hindered their campaign.
Meanwhile, the Eagles recorded an xG of just 0.61 in a below-par effort against Liverpool before the international break, which adds to their xG of 7.49 from open play this season. But Palace are also struggling in the attacking third, as they have given up too many clear-cut chances, evident from their xGA of 9.66 from open play.

- Pick: Nottingham Forest
- Odds: 2.34 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Crystal Palace
A home win seems like the most likely outcome on Monday. Nottingham Forest have been creative in the final third of the field so far this term, and Palace will probably give up a high volume of chances from set pieces.
Furthermore, Forest have a healthy advantage in the head-to-head as the East Midlands side have avoided defeat in their last seven against the Eagles.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Chris Wood to Score
- Odds: 3 (22Bet)
As mentioned previously, Palace’s xGA indicates a high volume of chances conceded from set pieces. Therefore, it could be worth taking a chance on Chris Wood finding the net at the City Ground. The striker has already netted four goals this season, and is operating at an xG of 3.43 in 2024-25.
