Can Forest snap their winless streak in a crucial Selhurst Park showdown?
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Premier League Prediction Match Details
Round 35 of the Premier League action draws its curtain on Monday night as Crystal Palace will host Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park. Can Forest end their miserable run of form?
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace are enjoying an impressive second half of the season, as the Eagles will come to Monday Night Football on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final last Saturday at Wembley Stadium to book their first final appearance since the 2015/16 season. The Eagles will be looking to keep the spirits high in the league to sneak into the top half of the table following a slow start to the league. Oliver Glasner's men have only managed one win in their last six Premier League games, but an impressive 2-2 performance at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal the last time out would provide them confidence against recently struggling Forest to end their four-match winless streak. Currently, the Eagles sit 12th in the Premier League standings with 45 points from 34 games, five points behind the mid-table with four games to go.
Oliver Glasner's men are currently also enjoying an impressive home form, having remained undefeated in the last four Premier League games.

Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest are experiencing a horrible run of recent form, leaving their fans in distress as they slipped from third place to sixth within two weeks. Forest was experiencing a spark of finishing the season with a Champions League football for the first time in decades, but a run of one win from their last four matches left them outside of the top five for the first time since Matchday 15. On Thursday night, the Tricky Trees suffered their second defeat in a row in all competitions as they were surprisingly beaten 2-0 by Brentford at the City Ground. They have also failed to score a goal in three of their last four games in all competitions. Currently, they sit 6th in the Premier League with 60 points from 34 games, two points behind a return to the top three.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has managed to win two of their last three away games, with the most recent being a 2-1 victory over Tottenham.
Stick together and give it a final push’ was the message from Nuno Espírito Santo.

Nottingham Forest will be desperate to end their miserable run of form against Palace, but we think Palace has a higher advantage against Forest on their home soil, with the Eagles remaining undefeated in their previous three meetings with Forest at Selhurst Park. We also predict a low-scoring result based on the fact that each of the previous six meetings between these rivals produced less than three or more goals.
Bet:
- Crystal Palace to Win/Draw
- Under 3.5 Goals
