Recent home/away form
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest's recent home form has been disappointing, with four losses in their last six games at the City Ground. They are currently struggling in the Premier League, sitting in 18th place with just 21 points from 29 matches. The team has suffered back-to-back 1-0 defeats against Liverpool and Manchester United, highlighting their lack of goalscoring prowess. However, there was a brief respite when they secured a 2-0 victory over West Ham, which was their only win in this six-game stretch. The match against Newcastle was a particularly high-scoring affair, ending in a 3-2 loss for Forest. Overall, their home form has been inconsistent, with a goal difference of -2 and only one clean sheet in these six games.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace's recent away form has been poor, with a run of three consecutive defeats against Arsenal, Brighton, and Tottenham Hotspur. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only four goals in their last six away matches, while conceding 14. Palace's defensive frailties have been exposed in high-scoring losses, particularly against Arsenal (5-0) and Brighton (4-1). However, their most recent away match resulted in a 1-0 victory against Bodo/Glimt in a friendly, which could potentially boost their confidence as they look to improve their performances on the road in the Premier League.
