Nottingham Forest take on the visitors Crystal Palace in the round 16 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, November 12th at City Ground (Nottingham).
Nottingham Forest remains in last place, but do not look hopeless. The Foresters were remembered by many during the summer transfer window. Then, against the background of the long-awaited return to the Premier League (for the first time in 2 decades), a massive transfer campaign was financed. And the amount was spent considerable, one and a half hundred million. But, most importantly, quantitatively: 22 newcomers became a record! And this, instead of strengthening the potential, became a blow. The club that won against West Ham in August and took a draw at the Everton field then lost 5 times in a row. But it was not the coach who was fired, but the head scout. And Steve Cooper, at the very least, justified the trust by starting to take points. They even won against Liverpool, with Aston Villa, Brighton and Brentford there were draws. True, it still did not allow to leave the 20th place.

Crystal Palace leaves mixed results so far. The "Glaziers" are in the 2nd year of their experiment to rejuvenate the composition. The 1st season was quite successful for Patrick Vieira as a coach in the Premier League. The Frenchman discovered several new stars and, most importantly, under him they scored more points and ranked higher than under his predecessor, Roy Hodgson. But now the results are rather contradictory. In the first 7 rounds there was only 1 victory, over Aston Villa. And only since October, the "piggy bank" began to replenish more actively. That month managed to win against Leeds, Wolverhampton and Southampton (all at home). And a week ago, in the last seconds, they took 3 points with West Ham. This 2-1 lead to a return to the top half of the Premier League standings.
The last time the sides played each other was 10 years ago, in 2012, when both played in the Championship. Then the last two matches ended in draws. Nottingham Forest are no longer so hopeless. But Crystal Palace was also able to add, so the option with a bet on guests with a handicap of "0" looks like a passing option.
Prediction for the match: Crystal Palace to win with 0.0 handicap.
