The EPL returns after the international break and brings us some intriguing clashes. One such match is Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest as Oliver Glasner returns to the club where he brought FA Cup and Community Shield success. His new club Forest haven't enjoyed a great start to their 26/27 campaign, winning just one of their five league matches so far. The Eagles themselves have also won just the one Premier League fixture, although their last six games have featured wins in the Carabao Cup ad Europa League.
For Forest, they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Premier League rivals Leeds United. The pressure is certainly mounting on Glasner, at a club renowned for sacking managers quickly if things aren't going their way. The Reds have lost three and drawn two of their last six in all competitions, though their sole win did come on the road away at Aston Villa.
For our prediction, we're looking at the Over/Under market. Palace have shored up their somewhat leaky defence and haven't conceded in their last two competitive fixtures. Forest don't tend to concede many, but they don't score many either. We think this will be a low scoring game.

Our Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
For us, this is likely to be a low scoring match. Palace look a lot more assured at the back than they did at the start of the season and they face a side in Forest who don't score many. While Palace have scored a few, they're up against a defence who have conceded only five league goals this season.
Our prediction for Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest is: Under 2.5 Goals
