Market:: Asian Handicap
Tip:: Nottingham Forest +0.5 @ 1.72 (Betfair)
Tip Result:: Win

There might be a bit of fire in this, because Crystal Palace were demoted out of the Europa League, and the extra £20m prize money that comes with it, with Nottingham Forest taking their place. A key for this game is Crystal Palace are the only Premier League club this week to be backing up after a midweek fixture. They host Fredrikstad in their Europa Conference League playoff first leg on Thursday night. They will then play the second leg the following Thursday. Oliver Glasner is a tournament-focused coach, so I suspect he will field a near full-strength squad against the Norwegian side, despite Palace being the heavy favourite. Added to the mix is the uncertainty over whether Crystal Palace will keep hold of captain Marc Guehi and talisman Eberechi Eze. One or both of these players could be gone by the time this game kicks off. Nottingham Forest boast an unbeaten 2-4-0 record against Crystal Palace since promotion, and a 0-3-0 record at Selhurst Park.
