Current streaks

Recent form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent form shows resilience and consistency, with only one loss in their last six matches across all competitions. Their ability to secure draws is notable, with four of their last six games ending in stalemates. A standout performance came in their 1-0 away victory against Liverpool, demonstrating their capability to compete against top-tier opponents. The team's defensive solidity is evident, conceding an average of just one goal per game in their last six matches, with 83% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals. However, their offensive output mirrors their defensive record, also averaging one goal per game. The high percentage of matches where both teams scored (67%) suggests that Forest are often involved in closely contested encounters. Their current 10th position in the league with 10 points from 7 games reflects their balanced performance, neither excelling nor struggling significantly.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent form has been mixed, with a concerning trend emerging in their last two Premier League matches, both resulting in losses. The team has struggled to secure victories, winning only one of their last six games, which came in the League Cup against Queens Park Rangers. Their league position of 18th with just 3 points from 7 games highlights their difficulties in the Premier League. Palace has shown resilience in drawing three matches, including against strong opponents like Manchester United and Chelsea. However, their goal-scoring record is worrying, averaging only one goal per game in their last six matches. Defensively, they've been slightly better, conceding 1.17 goals per game and managing one clean sheet. The team's matches have been evenly split between low and high-scoring affairs, with 50% of games seeing under 2.5 goals and 50% over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent home form shows a concerning trend, with the team unable to secure a victory in their last five matches at the City Ground. The Reds have been involved in a remarkable run of four consecutive draws across various competitions, including Premier League fixtures, a League Cup match, and a friendly. This streak was broken by a narrow 1-0 loss to Fulham in their most recent home game. While Forest has been difficult to beat at home, with only one loss in six games, their inability to convert draws into wins is notable. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just 0.83 goals per game in their last six matches, with no high-scoring affairs to speak of. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding at the same rate as their scoring. The majority of their home games (83%) have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring encounters at the City Ground.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. Despite their low league position, they've been involved in high-scoring affairs, with an impressive average of 4 total goals per game and both teams scoring in all 6 matches. Their attacking prowess is evident, scoring 2.33 goals per game, but they've struggled defensively, conceding 1.67 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet. The standout match was a 9-goal thriller against Crawley Town, which Palace won 6-3. Notably, 83% of their away games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating exciting, open matches for spectators. While they've had no extended winning or losing streaks, their inconsistent form is reflected in the alternating results of their last four competitive away matches (LWDL).
