Oliver Glasner returns to Selhurst Park with Nottingham Forest, and the Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest betting odds barely split two sides scrapping in the lower half of the Premier League.
Palace have stumbled under Pierre Sage, banking just four points from an opening run that looked inviting on paper, and they have lost both home outings, to Manchester City and Ipswich.
Forest looked to have turned a corner after promising results against Liverpool and Aston Villa, but the Coventry defeat before the international break was a tough one to swallow.
Forest are undefeated in their last 12 games against Palace in all competitions. Palace, meanwhile, have tied their last five home games against Forest in all competitions.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Recent Results
Palace have failed to win 11 of their last 12 games in the Premier League, and they sit in the lower half of the standings. The bright spot is Daichi Kamada, who has set up teammates in 2 of his last 3 top-flight outings, giving Pierre Sage's midfield some creative bite in an otherwise flat slump.
Forest have done their best work on the road, with six of their seven Premier League wins in 2026 coming away from home, including last month's win at Aston Villa. Morgan Gibbs-White and Dan Ndoye supply the creativity behind the striker, though turning those openings into goals remains the nagging issue.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Crystal Palace: Anan Khalaili (Injured/out), C. Riad (Injured/out), Dean Henderson (Injured/doubtful), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Injured/doubtful), Jean-Philippe Mateta (Injured/doubtful), Axel Disasi (Suspended)
Nottingham Forest: Nicolo Savona (Injured/doubtful), Nikola Milenkovic (Injured/doubtful)
Crystal Palace
The Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest lineups start with a headache at the back for Palace. Axel Disasi is serving a three-game ban after his sending-off against Ipswich last month, Anan Khalaili looks set to miss out with a suspected hamstring problem, and Takehiro Tomiyasu is doubtful with an injury. Oscar Mingueza could start at right wing-back, while Dean Henderson and Jean-Philippe Mateta are both expected to be fit.
Nottingham Forest
Nikola Milenkovic and Nicolo Savona are Forest's only injury concerns, and both have a shot at being involved. Ibrahim Sangaré is pushing for his first start since August, and the probable XI has him in midfield beside James McAtee.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest prediction is a narrow Forest win in a low-scoring game. The visitors are slight favorites on the moneyline at +163 (AK Bets). Palace are +188 (Boyle Sports), and a home side that has lost every outing at Selhurst Park this season does not earn our trust. Forest have the sharper creative edge and the more settled lineup, while Palace keep rotating, so in a stubborn matchup we are siding with Forest to edge it and keep Palace off the scoreboard.
Best Picks
Both Teams To Score: No. Palace and Forest have been tight in this fixture, with five draws in the last six meetings. This one sits in the Both Teams To Score market, and No is where the value lives. Forest are far better at creating scoring opportunities than finishing them, and Palace struggle to keep the ball, so a clean sheet at one end is a sensible read in a game projected to stay modest.
Under 2.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Palace have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 9 meetings with Forest. That run covers all competitions, and the projected total lands right on the line in the Total Goals Over/Under market. This pick fits the history of this matchup as cleanly as any on the card.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Same Game Parlay
This Same Game Parlay leans on Forest, combining a Liam Delap card, heavy Forest discipline trouble and Dan Ndoye volume shooting.
Liam Delap in the To Be Shown A Card market. He has picked up a card in two of his past three top-flight outings, and Forest are poor at avoiding fouls in dangerous areas.
Over 1.5 in the Total Away Team Cards market. Forest have received 2+ cards in 5 of their last 5 Premier League games, and this aggressive side rarely tidies that up.
Dan Ndoye Over 2.5 in the Player Shots market. Ndoye has let fly with 3+ shots in three of his last four league starts, and Forest love to let it fly.
That completes the slip at three legs, all pointing to a feisty, Forest-driven game.
At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +950 and is as short as +600 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of $35 from best to worst price.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Talking Points
Glasner's first trip back to Selhurst Park is the headline. Ahead of the game he insisted "there was no plan for me to be Forest manager" before he left Palace, and that line will not cool the reception. Daniel Muñoz adds another subplot after completing a permanent move from Palace to Forest in August, and he is in line to start on the right side of Forest's midfield against his old club. On the other bench, Pierre Sage arrived with real pedigree after a runner-up finish in Ligue 1 and a Coupe de France win with RC Lens, but pedigree does not earn points. Keep an eye on James McAtee too, as he has found the net twice in his past three outings against Palace in the Premier League.
