Premier League
In the previous five h2h games, we constantly saw close games, as four of those finished as draws. The only match that did not end as a draw was in October last season when Nottingham won 1:0, but that match could have easily ended in a draw.
Regarding the number of goals, we have only seen low-scoring matches. The last seven h2h meetings ended with fewer than three goals and an average of only 1.29 goals per game.
Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace have been a mid-table team for over a decade in the Premier League, as they finished between 10th and 15th in all 12 seasons since their arrival in the PL. Last year, they finished 12th but made history by winning the FA Cup and securing European Qualifiers.
This season, the Eagles opened the season well. They already won one title this season by beating Liverpool in the Community Shield. They also drew with Chelsea in the PL and secured their first European win (1:0) vs Fredrikstad in the Conference League Playoff Round (Qualifiers).
For the upcoming game, Daichi Kamada is expected to make a return after suffering a knee injury in the first game of the season. The Japanese midfielder has been a key piece last season, especially in the last part of the season, and his return should be a big boost for the Eagles.

Nottingham team overview
Nottingham had a fantastic last season, almost reaching the Champions League. For most of the season, they floated around third place, but eventually lost their Champions League spot with a loss in the last game of the season. Still, the Forest will play in the Europa League main phase by finishing 7th.
Over the Summer, the club made several changes to the squad and, on paper, appears to have strengthened, although it may be too early to tell. They opened the season great, by securing a 3:1 win over Brentford.

Prediction
Thus far, Crystal Palace went under 2.5 goals in two out of three games in all competitions, with their only Premier League match ending as a goalless draw vs Chelsea. Also, last season, the Eagles were fantastic for this type of bet, as 21 out of 38 PL games (55%) ended with fewer than three goals. Only Everton had more such games (24).
Nottingham went over this line in the first game of the season, but in friendlies, they were great for this type of bet, going under 2.5 goals in six out of seven matches, while five of those ended with a goalless draw.
Additionally, the last seven h2h games ended with fewer than three goals. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, we firmly believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Premier League tie.
4 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Two out of three Crystal Palace games this season ended with fewer than three goals
- Last season, Crystal Palace went under 2.5 goals in 21 out of 38 rounds
- Six out of seven of Nottingham's friendlies ended with fewer than three goals
- The last seven h2h games ended with fewer than three goals
