Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest close out Saturday’s Premier League action as the two teams look to build on a steady start to the campaign.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest 17:30, Preview
Crystal Palace travelled to the Theatre of Dreams last weekend and silenced the ground as the Eagles edged Manchester United 1-0.
Roy Hodgson and his men will now be targeting back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since April.
Nottingham Forest, however, won’t be easy opposition. Steve Cooper’s men have enjoyed a steady start to the campaign, picking up eight points from their first seven games.
During September, Forest earned a memorable 1-0 victory over Chelsea before getting some good luck in a 1-1 draw with Burnley. A 2-0 defeat against Manchester City followed, with Forest going on to draw against Brentford in their latest outing.
Last season, it was Forest’s poor form away from home which dragged them into a relegation battle. Cooper will be intent on changing that as this new campaign goes on.
Their first four away games this season have come against heavyweights in the form of Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea and Man City. With that in mind, a three-point haul from those games doesn’t sound too bad.
While Palace aren’t the same calibre of opposition on paper, they shouldn’t be underestimated on home territory.
The Eagles have only lost one of their last eight at Selhurst Park makes them tough opposition in front of their home fans.
Bearing everything in mind, we’re expecting a close encounter in the capital this Saturday evening. Backing the draw and both teams to score is the way to go.
