Chris Sutton has revealed his prediction ahead of Nottingham Forest’s trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace this evening.
Steve Cooper’s club will be hoping to get back on track, but they will have to do so without several key first-team players.
Felipe, Danilo, and Nuno Tavares all appear to be out with injuries, while Moussa Niakhate will miss the trip after receiving a red card against Brentford last weekend.
Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez are questionable for tonight’s game and will be closely monitored.
Chris Sutton predicts Palace vs. Forest.
In his piece for the BBC, Sutton forecasts a close encounter between the two’middle of the road’ factions.
“Both teams appear to be in the middle of the pack and difficult to beat, which is a compliment, but will they carry a significant goal threat?” I’m not certain.
“Crystal Palace are without injured Eberechi Eze, which is a major setback for them.” I don’t see the Eagles winning without him.”
Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest 1-1 prediction
Can Forest secure a second away victory?
The Reds equaled their away victory count from last season after beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season.
With the hosts losing Wilfred Zaha this summer and current key men Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze out injured, Forest has a wonderful chance to pick up a critical three points on Saturday.
