Our tip: Crystal Palace – Nottingham: 2

05.05.2025 21:00

Crystal Palace ended their four-match winless streak at the best possible moment: they knocked out Aston Villa 3-0 in the FA Cup semi-final and will face Manchester City in the final. This leaves them in the running for the cups! Nottingham are also in a thrilling fight for the Champions League, but they are starting to complicate the situation. After being eliminated from the semi-finals of the FA Cup, they also lost the playoff against Brentford (0-2).

Crystal Palace are having a difficult time in the league, having not won four in a row, also because they have faced Newcastle, Manchester City and Arsenal. The arrival of another top-six opponent Nottingham is certainly not a win either, as they have not beaten such an opponent in the league this season (0-5-5). Moreover, they are historically unbeatable at Forest specifically and currently have not beaten them in eight consecutive meetings (0-5-3).

Nottingham have won nine away league games this season and have only managed more than that three times in their history. On all three occasions, they have finished in the top three places. Now it will be looking to take advantage of the fact that Palace have already conceded 14 goals in April, the most of any team in the league. Chris Wood, who has scored 17 goals in his last 24 away games, could be on target.

What to bet on:

Nottingham are fighting for a top five finish and are doing well at home to second-placed opponents: they have won all eight of their matches so far this season, kept a clean sheet in four of them and also scored at least three goals four times. This dominance will also be confirmed at Crystal Palace, who they beat 1-0 in their first meeting.

Confidence:

7/10
