Crystal Palace remain winless in their previous nine league meetings with Nottingham Forest (D6 L3), with four of the last five encounters ending in a draw.
Only Everton (15) have drawn more Premier League games in 2024-25 than Crystal Palace (13), drawing three successive games in the competition since September.
Nottingham Forest have conceded the opening goal in four of their last five Premier League games (W1 D1 L3), as many times as in their previous 18 games in the competition. Indeed, Forest have won only one of their 10 league games in 2024-25 in which they’ve conceded first (D1 L8).

Nottingham Forest have never lost in nine Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace (W4 D5), the only opponent they have faced more than twice in the competition without losing, and the only side the Eagles have faced 5+ times in the Premier League without winning.
Crystal Palace are winless in their last four Premier League matches (D2 L2), last having a longer run when going eight without a win at the start of this season.
Nottingham Forest have won nine away Premier League matches this season and have only won 10 top-flight away matches in a season on three occasions – in 1977-78 (finished 1st), 1978-79 (2nd) and 1994-95 (3rd).
Crystal Palace conceded 14 Premier League goals in April, the most of any side. It was their joint most in a single month in Premier League history, also shipping 14 in December 2020.
