Nottingham Forest, Recent FormLast time out for Nottingham Forest resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Luton Town in a match they really wanted to win. They came away from that fixture with 40% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Luton Town managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 25 of their 29 games overall.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Chris Wood will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Nottingham Forest.
Crystal Palace, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Luton Town, Crystal Palace had to settle for a share of the points. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Luton Town who had 8 attempts and 2 on target.
Oliver Glasner, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 12 of their 14 games played.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Crystal Palace, Michael Olise will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Crystal Palace had to make do with a share of the points in their last match against Nottingham Forest, with the game ending a 0-0 draw.
Playing away from home, Palace have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Forest.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Palace will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 6 games.
Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ola Aina (Knock), Giovanni Reyna (Knock) and Nuno Tavares (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Palace manager Oliver Glasner with Nathan Ferguson (Hamstring), Matheus França (Groin), Marc Guéhi (Knee), Rob Holding (Ankle), Michael Olise (Hamstring), Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (Hamstring) and Jeff Schlupp (Strain) all unavailable for selection, and Cheick Doucouré (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
