Match Preview
It has been a busy period off the field for Nottingham Forest in recent weeks after they have dropped into the relegation places after being handed a points deduction for breaching Premier League rules. They are now sitting eighth, and are one point adrift from safety.
Their form would be a pressing concern ahead of this fixture, as they have lost three of their last four, and they are without a victory over that period of matches. They come into this return to action after playing out a 1-1 draw in their most recent match in the Premier League against Luton.

Crystal Palace may also still have one eye over their shoulders. The Eagles come into the final ten games of the season sitting 14th in the standings, but they are just eight clear of the bottom three spots in the standings. They have picked up just one victory since the arrival of Oliver Glasner.
Palace played out a 1-1 draw in their most recent match in the Premier League on March 9, which was also against Luton. The advantage is with Forest based on the head-to-head clashes between these sides, with the East Midlands team winning five of the last ten against the Eagles across the top two divisions since 2010. Forest are also unbeaten in three Premier League matches against Palace.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Forest holds the advantage in the previous meetings between the sides, and this is a must-win game for the hosts this weekend. However, the fact that four of the last five matches between these sides have ended in draws can’t be ignored.
