Matthew O’Regan has picked out a laddered bet builder for Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Monday evening.
20:00 Monday
Monday nights Premier League action sees Crystal Palace host Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park. Matthew O’Regan has bets ranging from 21/10 to 110/1.
Nottingham Forest’s Champions League ambitions have taken a dent in recent weeks with three league losses in four, so Nuno Espirito Santo will be keen to ensure his side get back on track on Monday night.
Crystal Palace are six points off a European place but have the chance to win their first ever major trophy when they face Manchester City in the FA Cup final in a few weeks.
The Eagles can be forgiven for having one eye on the cup, so Forest may look to capitalise. Forest won 1-0 in a feisty encounter in October, so a similar game is anticipated under the Selhurst Park lights.

Matthew provides more reasoning for each part of his bet builders below.
Jean Philippe Mateta To Score
Jean Philippe Mateta has emerged as a fan favourite for Crystal Palace. The 27-year-old struggled for form in his early years in South London but 19 goals in all competitions last season and 17 so far this campaign has proven his worth.
The 6’4 striker is a powerful unit and hard to stop when in his stride, so the Nottingham Forest defence may struggle to contain him. Mateta is averaging 0.51 goals per 90 in the Premier League. While Forest’s defence has been relatively water-tight in the league this season, they are five games without a clean sheet, losing four of these five games.
Marc Guehi 1+ Tackle
Marc Guehi has been a mainstay in the Eagles’ defence since signing from Chelsea. Part of Oliver Glasner’s athletic back three, the England international has started 32 of his sides 34 games this season. Guehi is averaging 1.68 tackles per 90, making at least one tackle in his last 14 games and 21 of his last 22.
Daichi Kamada To Be Carded
Daichi Kamada was signed on a free transfer from Lazio in the summer but has struggled to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League. However, the 28-year-old has slowly settled in and has now started the last two games. He is averaging 1.59 fouls per 90, being shown 0.23 yellow cards per 90, including two in his last three starts.
Nottingham Forest sit back and look to counterattack teams, leading to a lot of opposition central midfielders picking up yellow cards. 37 centre midfielders have been booked against the Reds this season, including Kamada and Jefferson Lerma in the reverse.
Elliot Anderson To Be Carded
Elliot Anderson was also booked in the reverse fixture. The 22-year-old was begrudgingly sold by Newcastle in the summer amid PSR concerns and has shone since signing Nottingham Forest. Anderson has eight goal contributions in 29 starts, while also impressing in a defensive capacity.
He is averaging 1.51 fouls per 90, being shown 0.26 yellow cards per 90 in the Premier League, including in the 0-2 loss to Brentford. 24 centre midfielders have been booked against Palace this season, including six in the last five.
