Nottingham Forest vs. Crystal Palace 11/12/22 EPL Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at City Ground. 

Crystal Palace comes into this game sitting in 10th place in the group, having picked up 19 points. Last Sunday, Crystal Palace faced off against West Ham, and they were able to secure a 2-1 victory. Michael Olise scored in the 94th minute, to secure the 2-1 victory. West Ham had 58 percent of the possession and six shots on target. James McArthur and Chris Richards are both dealing with injuries, and they aren’t going to be able to go in this game. Vicente Guaita. Is in goal, and he’s going to need to be good here. If the defense struggles, it’s going to be a long game for Crystal Palace. 

On the other side of this matchup is Nottingham Forest who sit in 20th place in the group having picked up 10 points. Last Saturday, Nottingham Forest faced off against Brentford, and that game ended in a 2-2 draw. Mathias Jorgenson scored in the 96th minute and that was enough to secure the draw. On Wednesday, in the EFL Cup, Nottingham was able to secure a 2-0 victory. Mangala is dealing with a suspension, and he’s not going to be able to go in this game. Scott McKenna and Cheikhou Kouyate are both dealing with injuries, and it’s unclear if they are going to be able to go in this game. 

This is going to be a competitive game, and I expect that will be because of both teams’ defenses. Nottingham Forest are going to really struggle to score here, and that is going to be the difference here. Crystal Palace might score a goal, but it’s not going to be any different here. Back the under to cash.
