Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

Current streaks

Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Eagles showing resilience in cup competitions but struggling for consistency in the Premier League. Their last six matches have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, indicating a somewhat erratic run of results. Notably, Palace have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with four of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. The team suffered two heavy defeats, conceding five goals in each match against Newcastle United and Manchester City, which significantly impacted their goal difference. However, Palace have shown defensive improvement in their most recent league outings, securing a clean sheet against Bournemouth and holding Arsenal to a draw. Their FA Cup victory over Aston Villa demonstrates their ability to perform in knockout competitions, whilst their mid-table position in the league suggests they've managed to maintain a steady, if unspectacular, presence in the top flight.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, with their current 6th position in the Premier League table belying their inconsistent performances. The Tricky Trees have struggled to find the back of the net, averaging just 0.67 goals per game in their last six matches, while conceding at a rate of 1.33 goals per game. Their defensive frailties are further highlighted by a five-game streak without a clean sheet. Forest have alternated between wins and losses in their last four Premier League outings, but have suffered defeats in their two most recent matches across all competitions. Notably, they've struggled at home, failing to score in their last two fixtures at the City Ground. Despite their recent wobbles, Forest have managed to secure impressive victories against top-six sides Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, demonstrating their potential to compete with the league's elite teams.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have been in excellent form at home, enjoying an impressive five-match winning streak across all competitions. The Eagles have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 13 times in their last six home games, with a notable 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in the Premier League. Their defensive record has also been commendable, conceding only three goals during this period and keeping three clean sheets. The team's recent performances have been characterised by high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Palace's home form has been crucial in their push up the Premier League table, currently sitting in 12th position with 45 points from 34 games. Their only blemish in this run was a goalless draw against Bournemouth, but overall, Crystal Palace have been formidable at Selhurst Park.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Reds have shown resilience, bouncing back from consecutive defeats to secure a victory in their most recent away fixture against Tottenham Hotspur. Forest's attacking prowess is evident, having scored in five of these six matches, including a high-scoring 4-2 win over Ipswich Town. Defensively, however, they've struggled, conceding in five out of six games, with a particularly thrilling 4-3 loss to Newcastle United. The team's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 83% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Despite their inconsistent results, Forest have maintained a respectable 6th position in the league, suggesting they've performed better at home to offset their mixed away form.
