Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace predictions

Forest are in trouble if they don't start getting results now and if that's not enough they need to better Luton Town along the way as they sit just a point behind them.

Forest have won once in their last five games which has kept them in touching distance, while Luton have really struggled themselves and it ended all square 1-1 between the two of them earlier in the month in their last league fixture.

Recently though, it's apparent their defence has taken a massive step to helping their cause, but they haven't got the goals to back it up.

Forest have conceded 51 goals in 29 matches, lower than any other team in the bottom four.

But still a poor average, while only scoring 35. But in the last four games in all competitions have only lost 1-0, after they were dismantled by Villa to lose 4-2 in February.

Palace have also fallen down in the table toward the end of the season and don't score much either.

Only Everton and Burnley have scored less goals than Palace this season, while Forest are just behind them.

If Palace do win, it's rare it's by more than by a single goal, likewise for when they lose, it's just they've lost 13 times already this season and that's average out to give them -15 goal difference just one less than Forest.

📝 Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace betting tips

Given the fact both these teams are struggling to score, it's hard to see this being a high scoring affair. However, they've got goalscorers who are in great form and with both sides also prone to conceding they might see a goal a piece at most.

Eze to score - 3/1

Eze returned from another injury stint against Tottenham and scored before helping his side see out a 1-1 draw with Luton.

Palace conceded in the 96th minute to see all three points slip away and they've really been unfortunate with injuries to both Eze and Michael Olise, who provide the most assists and get plenty of goals between them too.

Eze's scored four in his last five appearances for the Eagles and it's looking likely he'll be able to find a way through Forest's defence, as even though it's improved they've still conceded in each of their last five games.

Under 3 goals - 8/11

Forest have also only scored once in their last four in all competitions, against Man United, Liverpool, Brighton and Luton.

When you have two teams that don't score often and those that have put in a lot of work defensively to limit the damage, rarely losing by more than a single goal, or only conceding four in four it's a great price even at odds-on to see under three goals scored in the match.

While there's every chance the gates could open on either side, with goals from each, no one will want to become exposed at the back in a game like this.

Especially as Forest are still within a shout of safety with just a few games to go, while Palace do not want to be sucked into the relegation battle themselves.

Even though they're still eight points adrift of that, it can all change with ten games still to play and a tough run-in, that sees them face Man City, Liverpool, Newcastle, Man United and Aston Villa.

⚽ Tip Under 3 goals at 8/11 with Bet365 ⚽
