Event Preview

It could be a bitter end to the 2024-25 season for Nottingham Forest, as an FA Cup semi-final exit at the hands of Man City was followed by a damaging Premier League defeat against Brentford on Thursday. The Tricky Trees have now lost three of their last four matches, which has handed the advantage to Chelsea and Man City in the European race.

Crystal Palace will have a big FA Cup final already on their mind ahead of their final four matches in the Premier League this season. The Eagles have continued to impress under Oliver Glasner in the second half of the season, but they come into this round having failed to win in their last four Premier League matches.

Palace also have a poor head-to-head record against Forest. They have won just one of the last 14 league meetings between the sides, and they have gone eight without a win since a success in the second tier in December 2011. Forest have avoided defeat in all nine Premier League meetings between the teams.

The Eagles have gone four without a win in the Premier League, which is their longest winless run since the start of the season. Furthermore, they allowed 14 goals in the month of April, which is their joint-most in a single month in league history.


Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest Picks

The pressure will be on Nottingham Forest this weekend, as their Champions League hopes hang in the balance. However, they boast a dominant record in this fixture, and they have excelled on the road this season. They could win ten away matches in the top-flight for just the fourth time in their history on Monday.
