Nottingham Forest faced a tough challenge against Chelsea in their last game, but managed to secure a 1-1 draw despite being down to ten men. However, their performances at home have not been as impressive, despite a strong start to the Premier League season.
The team will be looking to change this trend when they face Crystal Palace on Monday night under the floodlights. It will be their first home win this season, after drawing 1-1 with Bournemouth and Wolves, and suffering a 1-0 defeat against Fulham. They also faced a disappointing exit from the Carabao Cup, losing 4-3 on penalties to Newcastle after another 1-1 draw in regular time. To add to their challenges, manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be serving a ban following his antics on the sidelines during their match against Brighton.
However, their away performances have been commendable, with a 1-0 win against Southampton, a repeat scoreline against Liverpool, and a 2-2 draw against Brighton. This includes their most recent game, where they held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, despite being reduced to ten men in the 78th minute.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace has had a slow start to the season, with defeats against Brentford and West Ham, and draws against Chelsea, Leicester, and Manchester United. They also suffered a loss against Everton and a 1-0 defeat at home against Liverpool before the international break. However, they have a talented player in Eberechi Eze, who has the potential to score for the Eagles.
Currently, Palace sits at 18th place in the Premier League table, with just three points. They need to start picking up wins to avoid being left behind in the early stages of the season. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest will be without Morgan Gibbs-White due to suspension, but they can rely on the goal-scoring abilities of Chris Wood, who has scored four goals so far this season.
In terms of betting, Wood is a good choice to break the deadlock at 13/2 with Unibet, BetUK, and BetMGM, while also being 5/2 to score at any time. Eberechi Eze is also a strong contender to score for Palace, with odds of 7/2. However, Palace has failed to score in three games this season, one of which was against the best defense in the league, Nottingham Forest.
It's also worth keeping an eye on former world champion Neil Robertson, who is competing in this week's Northern Ireland Open. He has odds of 9/1 with Ladbrokes and Coral to win the tournament, and 3/1 with bet365 to beat Graeme Dott 4-1 in their first-round match.
In other news, the Baltimore Ravens have been on a winning streak, with four straight wins after two initial defeats. They will be facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who also have a 4-2 record. One player to watch out for is Ravens' running back Derrick Henry, who has odds of 4/1 with Betway, Paddy Power, StarSports, and Betfair to score the opening touchdown. Baltimore is also favored to win by more than 3.5 points, with odds of 10/11.
In other sports news, Brighton has provided an update on Danny Welbeck's injury after their win against Newcastle United, while Thomas Frank has praised Manchester United's Christian Eriksen for his performance against Brentford. Sky Sports has also responded to claims that Howard Webb influenced the decision to send off Arsenal's William Saliba in a recent match.
