Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace Tips

• Chris Wood & Eddie Nketiah Over 0.5 Shots On Target Each: 2/1 @ Coral
• Chris Wood & Eddie Nketiah To Score: 11/1 @ BetMGM

Tip 1

Nobody has had more shots on target between these two teams than Chris Wood. The old-fashioned centre forward has managed nine from 12 efforts, posting at least one in six of his seven league games this term.

For Eddie Nketiah, he’s pulled off his half of the bet in three of his four starts since switching Arsenal for Crystal Palace, including against Liverpool just before the international break.

Tip 2

Wood leads the way for Forest and Palace players in terms of goals scored having notched four times, with two of those coming at the City Ground and his latest strike helping the Tricky Trees pick up a point at Stamford Bridge before October’s Nations League fixtures rolled around.

Nketiah still awaits his first league goal for his new South London employers, and for a sharpshooter like him it’s only a matter of time before he breaks this duck.

The 25-year-old struck his only goal for the club in an EFL Cup third round win over QPR last month, however, facing Forest at the City Ground where their form still leaves something to be desired could be the occasion he needs to get up and running in the league.

Nottingham Forest Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Forest are without a win in three since taking home all three points from Anfield in the middle of September, although they’ve picked up two hard-earned points against Brighton and Chelsea during this period.

Talisman Morgan Gibbs-White and fellow midfielder James Ward-Prowse are serving suspensions and will miss this clash.

Nottingham Forest Predicted XI: Sels; Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Elanga; Wood.

Crystal Palace Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Palace remain one of four teams without a league win, accumulating just three points over the course of seven games and coming up short in their last fixture against Liverpool despite a valiant effort.

The Eagles will make this trip without Chadi Riad, Chris Richards, Cheick Doucoure and Matheus Franca through injury, while Matt Turner is ineligible to face his parent club.

Crystal Palace Predicted XI:  Henderson; Guehi, Chalobah, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Nketiah, Eze.
