Game Overview
Premier League clash between mid-table Crystal Palace and relegation-battling Nottingham Forest. Recent meetings show tight contests, with 3 draws in their last 5 H2H matches and none exceeding 2 total goals.
Key Factors to Consider

- Potential late-season pressure for Forest if battling relegation, though table position unconfirmed.
- Match importance unclear without current table standings, but Forest's odds suggest underdog status.
