Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace Betting Tips, Odds, Predictions & Match Preview
Nottingham Forest will aim to pile the pressure on Crystal Palace in the Monday night Premier League action at the City Ground.
The hosts have been one of the league’s surprise packages this term, and their 1-0 victory away to Liverpool has been one of the undoubted highs for those connected to the club.
In stark contrast, Palace’s problems have been well documented, and they remain winless from their first seven games.
This streak sees the Eagles stranded in the bottom three, and they need to turn things around fast.
Forest will be sweating on the fitness of Morgan Gibbs-White who withdrew from the England squad during the international break, while Palace will be keeping a close eye on Adam Wharton.
This should be a tasty game to wrap up Matchweek 8. To set the mood, I have provided a preview and a couple of Nottingham Forest Crystal Palace betting tips, plus the best football betting offers from our top football betting sites.

Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace Match Preview
Although Forest have created a stir this term and are in the top half of the table, they need a few more goals.
They have netted just seven, which is just one shy of Newcastle’s tally, who are three places above Forest.
That said, their fears pale in comparison to what Oliver Glasner is going through with the Eagles.
Apart from a goalless draw at home to Manchester United where they showed some signs of attacking intent, Palace have more than tailed off this term.
But things won’t get easier for them. Forest are unbeaten in each of their past seven clashes (W2 D5) with Palace, and they have never lost against the South London outfit in eight top-flight clashes.
Although Forest have managed the fewest total pressures in the final third (233) than any other Premier League side, I think they should come out on top against Palace.
For the first of my Nottingham Forest Crystal Palace betting tips, I’m siding with Forest to clinch all three points - available at 11/8 with William Hill for this outcome, which isn’t overly short.
Forest to produce a stirring comeback
There are a couple of trends that have emerged in the Premier League this term, of which one of them is that we are seeing more comebacks.
At the time of writing, there have been 12 comebacks staged in 70 league games this term, a rate of 17.1%. However, the highest ratio across an entire league campaign was 16.6% last season and there is still plenty of time to go.
While there have only been four goals scored between Forest and Palace in the previous three league clashes, I feel like being a bit bolder with my second pick.
To round things up, I’m going with Forest to win after coming from behind, and bet365 is on hand with a tantalising 10/1 price.
