Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Betting Tips | May 28th 2023

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest draw the curtains on their 2022-23 Premier League campaign when they face off at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Having only recently guaranteed their survival, Steve Cooper’s men will head into the weekend looking to end their turbulent season on a high.

Crystal Palace snapped their run of two successive away defeats last Saturday when they salvaged a 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Roy Hodgson’s side now return home, where they have won all but one of their last four matches, with a goalless draw against Everton on April 22 being the exception.

With 44 points from 37 matches, Crystal Palace are currently 11th in the table and will be hoping to finish above London rivals Chelsea, who sit one point below them.

After a turbulent campaign, Nottingham Forest secured Premier League safety last weekend when they picked up a 1-0 victory over Arsenal.

The Reds have now gone unbeaten in three consecutive matches, picking up seven points from a possible nine since the start of May.

While Cooper’s side will be looking to wrap up the season on a high, they have struggled for results on the road, where they are without a win in 11 straight outings.
