Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have met six times recently and drawn four of them, with the other two both finishing 1-0. This time both teams are in a period where they have not yet found their rhythm, especially the hosts, who lost their most recent match. Crystal Palace at home have clear problems: their defence has conceded 11 goals in five matches, and their most recent home game ended in a 0-2 defeat. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, may not score much, but they have conceded only 5 goals in five matches and have avoided defeat in 3 of their last 5, a trend that clearly contrasts with the hosts. This looks like a game where neither team will dare to open up too much, because both know that conceding first immediately makes things harder. If Nottingham Forest defend as a compact block and wait for counter-attacking moments as they have in several recent matches, the game is likely to end close and not far apart, which is a path where the hosts themselves do not hold much of an advantage.
