Crystal Palace will be determined to return to winning ways when they face Nottingham Forest to Selhurst Park, following a goalless draw with Leeds before the international break. The Eagles struggled to create clear-cut chances in that encounter, registering just 1.06 xG, and they will need more attacking inspiration here. Jean-Philippe Mateta remains in the recovery room, while Axel Disasi misses out through suspension. Palace have nevertheless scored 2.17 goals per game across their last six home matches.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a shocking 1-0 defeat to Coventry despite registering 24 goal attempts. Chris Wood is pushing for a rare start as Forest look for a sharper edge in the final third, while important defender Nikola Milenkovic misses out with injury. The Reds have struggled for consistency lately, winning just two of their last 10 matches, and their defensive record away from home is a concern, with 1.75 goals conceded per game.
Given Palace’s stronger home numbers and Forest’s defensive problems, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Palace or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals (this appeals despite the low-scoring H2H trend).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 11 October 2026 at 14:00.
