The match between Crystal Palace and Nottingham is one of those where we will probably not have the opportunity to see beautiful football, but more tactical outwitting and hard football await us. After a season-opening draw against Chelsea, Crystal Palace played a game against Fredrikstad as part of the Conference League qualifiers. Although a more convincing result was expected, today's home team achieved a 1-0 triumph with a lot of difficulty. Fredrikstad defended in a very organized way and Crystal Palace had a lot of trouble finding a crack in the visitors' defense. Of course, the biggest reason for that is the departure of Eze to Arsenal. He was the main driver of this team's offensive actions and without him in the rest of the season, Palace will certainly not look the same. Coach Oliver Glasner expressed concern about the lack of reinforcements and had to call on youngster Justin Devenny to replace Eze, which reduces the quality of the attack. Additionally, existing injured players such as Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucoure will further reduce their chances in this match. On the other hand, Nottingham enters this match with a lot of confidence. After the great last season, in which they secured a place in the Europa League, it seems that they will play this one in a similar rhythm. They opened the season with a convincing 3-1 triumph against Brentford, with 2 goals from Wood, who picked up where he left off last season when he scored 20 goals. Today's visitors are known for their solid and well-organized defence, led by Milenkovic and Murillo, and with new additions such as James McAtee, Omari Hutchinson, Douglas Luiz and Kalimuendo, Forest have more depth and flexibility in attack. If we add to all this that Palace expects a rematch on Thursday against Fredrikstad, the question is how openly they will play this game. In addition, Nottingham are unbeaten against Palace in their last 6 games, so the psychological advantage is certainly on their side.

水晶宫和诺丁汉之间的比赛是其中之一，我们可能没有机会看到漂亮的足球，但更多的战术智胜和艰苦的足球等待着我们。在揭幕战战平切尔西后，水晶宫与腓特烈斯塔德进行了一场比赛，这是联盟预选赛的一部分。虽然预期会有一个更令人信服的结果，但今天的主队费了很大的劲才以1比0取胜。腓特烈斯塔的防守非常有组织，水晶宫很难在客队的防守中找到突破口。当然，最大的原因是埃兹加盟阿森纳。他是球队进攻的主要驱动力，在本赛季剩下的时间里，没有他，水晶宫肯定会变得不一样。主教练奥利弗·格拉斯纳对缺乏增援表示担忧，他不得不让小将贾斯汀·迪芬尼代替埃兹，这降低了进攻的质量。此外，现有的受伤球员，如埃迪·恩凯提亚和切克·杜库尔，将进一步减少他们在这场比赛中的机会。另一方面，诺丁汉带着极大的信心进入这场比赛。在经历了上赛季的辉煌之后，他们在欧联杯中获得了一席之地，看来他们将以类似的节奏来打这个赛季。他们以令人信服的3-1大胜布伦特福德，伍德打进2球，延续了上赛季20球的辉煌。今天的客队以米连科维奇和穆里略为首的稳固和组织良好的后防线而闻名，加上詹姆斯·麦卡蒂、奥马里·哈钦森、道格拉斯·路易斯和卡里穆恩多等新人的加入，森林队在进攻上有了更多的深度和灵活性。如果我们再加上这一切，水晶宫期待在周四与腓特烈斯塔德的复赛，那么问题是他们将如何公开地打这场比赛。此外，诺丁汉在最近6场比赛中对水晶宫保持不败，所以心理上的优势肯定是站在他们一边的。
