Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Forecast, Squad Updates, Betting Insights, Odds, and Bet Customization
Nottingham Forest will be missing the services of Nicolas Dominguez for the upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace, scheduled for Sunday, August 24 at Selhurst Park, London. The kick-off time is set for 2pm, and the match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League.
In the build-up to the game, Nottingham Forest's manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has seen several new players join the team. Among them are James McAtee, Omari Hutchinson, Douglas Luiz, and Arnaud Kalimuendo, who will all be assessed prior to the game.
On the other side, Crystal Palace's striker, Jean-Philippe Mateta, has had a promising start to the season, with five shots on target in just three games. Chris Wood, Forest's striker, scored twice in their opening match of the season against Brentford and could pose a significant threat to Crystal Palace's defense.
The last six meetings between these two teams have seen fewer than three goals, suggesting a tight and tactical affair. Interestingly, six of the last eight meetings between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have ended in draws.
Nottingham Forest's summer transfers were extensively organized under the oversight of global head of football Edu Gaspar, with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo having influence but primarily focusing on organizing the squad. Key signings during that period included four new players acquired for over £118 million, though specific player names from summer 2023 are not detailed in the search results.
Crystal Palace is unbeaten in their last eight competitive home matches, a testament to their resilience at Selhurst Park. However, Palace has lost their first home match in 12 of their 16 Premier League seasons, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this upcoming encounter.
Forest's record of 10 away wins last season was bettered by only Liverpool (11), indicating their potential for success on the road. Crystal Palace is also scrambling to bring in reinforcements before the transfer window closes due to Eberechi Eze's departure to Arsenal.
As for the betting odds, Crystal Palace is the 6-5 favourites, Nottingham Forest is at 2-1, and the draw is priced at 9-5. With both teams showing promising signs and a history of close encounters, this match promises to be an exciting addition to the Premier League schedule.
