Nottingham vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips (30 March)

Nottingham Forest were recently deducted 4 points due to a breach of financial rules. Nuno Espirito's men thus fell to 18th place in the Premier League, one unit behind the first non-relegation team. Slowly these days, they have only pocketed one success in the last 9 days, for 2 draws and 6 defeats. After losing in turn against Aston Villa 4-2, Liverpool 0-1 and Brighton 1-0, Nottingham Forest took a point from a direct competitor for maintenance, Luton Town, before the international break 1-1.

14th of the Premier League with 1 game less and 8 points ahead of the first relegation, Crystal Palace is in a very favorable waiver to ensure its maintenance. Distrust all the same because the London team has only won against relegated Burnley 3-0 in the last 6 days, for 2 draws and 3 defeats. After this very important success, Crystal Palace lost at Tottenham 3-1 before conceding, at home, sharing points against poorly ranked Luton Town before the international break 1-1.

Nottingham Forest remains deprived of potentially starting full-backs Tavares and Montiel, who have not sufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Nigerian full-back Ole Aina is, for his part, uncertain. Loaned by Dortmund this winter, attacking midfielder Reyna has been used sparingly since his arrival. He regained a little confidence during the international break with the United States (1 goal and 2 assists in 2 selections). Chris Wood (9 goals in PL) should start this Saturday and be supported by playmaker Gibbs-White (3 goals and 5 assists in PL).

Several elements are missing at Crystal Palace this weekend. These are the starters Olise (6 goals and 3 assists in PL), Guehi (defender) and Cheick Doucouré (midfielder), the usual substitutes Matheus França and Schlupp, the little-used defender Holding and the young midfielder Rak-Sakyi, all wounded. In the attacking trio, the influential Jordan Ayew (4 goals and 6 assists in PL), Eze (6 goals in PL) and Mateta (5 goals and 4 assists in PL) should take their place. Selected with Colombia during the international break, Jefferson Lerma is key in the midfield.
