Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's unlikely that this match will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics are in line with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Nottm Forest and C Palace have rarely been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in the Premier League individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a convincing favourite WDW or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.29.
