Odds correct at time of publishing
As Crystal Palace prepares to face Nottingham Forest, the recent form paints a compelling picture for backing the home side at level stakes. While Palace's home record is less than inspiring, they've been battling hard, averaging decent shot numbers but struggling to convert chances, evidenced by their 1.2 goals per game at home. Nottingham, on the other hand, has seen a mixed bag on the road, with a formidable 2.8 goals scored recently. However, Palace has historically found it tough against Forest, with their recent head-to-head record of 0-4-1 weighing heavily. Still, the current trends suggest a shift; Palace's defensive efforts can stifle Forest's attack, which averages 1.4 goals conceded away. With Palace keen to secure a crucial home result and the absence of outright pressure on the handicap, backing them at 0 offers a strategic play as they look to end their winless streak against Forest.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest: Over 8.5 Total Corners (-169)
Odds correct at time of publishing
As Crystal Palace prepares to host Nottingham Forest, the stage is set for a corner-heavy affair. Palace's recent home matches have seen them struggle, averaging just 1.2 goals while conceding 2.2, indicating they'll be on the back foot against a Forest side that’s been more potent away, netting 2.8 goals per game in their last five. With Palace averaging over 11.6 shots at home, the potential for corners is ripe, especially considering their defensive frailties leading to more opposition strikes. Forest, meanwhile, has been aggressive with 12.2 shots away, resulting in an average of 2.8 corners per game. The combination of Palace's high shot volume and Forest's attacking momentum suggests that exceeding 8.5 corners is highly probable. With both teams needing points, expect a frantic battle that could send corner flags fluttering.
