Round 16 of the English Premier League is the last one before the World Cup recess and presentes Nottingham Forest with the unique opportunity of grabbing a good home result in order to escape the bottom place of the standings against Crystal Palace. We suggest for this game a home win or draw bet.

Nottingham Forest goes out to the field knowing that this is their last chance to escape the bottom of the standings befor the World Cup recess. The team is coming from a fantastic 2-0 win over Tottenham on Wednesday for the EFL Cup, so they can draw motivation from such a fantastic team effort to get their third league victory of the season.

Another reason to be optimistic coming to this match is the fact that they are unbeaten in their last three meetings, with two draws and one win, and in Premier League games they have gone head to head in four occassions, never ending in defeat (two wins and two draws), although they last played in England's top division for the last time in 1995.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace is having a good run so far in the season and is now in the tenth place of the standings. Nevetheless, they were not so fine in ther midweek game against Newcastle, when they lost in penalty shootouts after a goal less draw in round of 32 of EFL Cup.

英超第16轮是世界杯休会前的最后一轮，这给了诺丁汉森林一个难得的机会，他们可以在主场取得一个好成绩，从而摆脱积分榜垫底的位置，对阵水晶宫。我们建议这场比赛在主场打胜负赌。

诺丁汉森林走出球场，知道这是他们在世界杯休会前摆脱积分榜垫底的最后机会。这支球队刚刚在周三以2-0的精彩成绩战胜热刺，赢得了英格兰足总杯的冠军，所以他们可以从这样一场梦幻般的比赛中获得动力，争取本赛季的第三场联赛胜利。

对这场比赛持乐观态度的另一个原因是，他们在最近的三次交锋中保持了2平1胜的不败，在英超联赛中，他们有过四次正面交锋，从未以失败告终(2胜2平)，尽管他们上一次在英格兰顶级联赛中比赛是在1995年。

另一方面，水晶宫本赛季到目前为止表现不错，目前排名第十。然而，在周中对阵纽卡斯尔的比赛中，他们并没有表现得那么好，当时他们在英格兰足总杯32轮的点球大战中以一球少的平局输掉了比赛。
