Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest will square off at Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts put in a spirited display when battling their way to a 0-0 draw away at Chelsea last weekend.
Oliver Glasner‘s side have since got their Europa Conference League campaign underway, claiming a narrow 1-0 win over Fredrikstad the first leg of their play-off tie on Thursday night.
The Eagles now face a quick turnaround ahead of their maiden top-flight home game of the season with Nottingham Forest.
The Tricky Trees hit the ground running with an emphatic 3-1 victory over Brentford last Sunday.
Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping his side can use that victory as a springboard for further success at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
How the bookies view it: Eagles to emerge victorious
The bookies’ odds suggest that Crystal Palace will pick up their first Premier League win of the season on Sunday, with a home win priced up at 11/8 on Boylesports.
Nottingham Forest are 2/1 outsiders on Boylesports while a share of the Selhurst Park spoils can be backed at 21/20 with the same firm.
Head to head: A stalemate in store?
Four of the previous five Premier League meetings between the pair have ended all square, including last season’s corresponding fixture which ended 1-1. A repeat of that scoreline on Sunday can be backed at 5/1 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Hone in on Hughes
Will Hughes has been a regular name in referee’s notebooks throughout his career, picking up his latest yellow card in last week’s goalless draw with Chelsea. The all-action Crystal Palace midfielder looks well worthy of support to tackle his way into trouble again this weekend at 5/2 on Boylesports.
After bagging a brace in last week's 3-1 win over Brentford, Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood looks overpriced to get on the scoresheet on Sunday at 9/4 with Boylesports.
Predicted line-ups
Arsenal-bound Eberechi Eze looks to have played his last game for Crystal Palace while Eddie Nketiah will miss out for the Eagles here due to injury.
Nottingham Forest will be without injured midfielder Nicolas Dominguez, but apart from that they could have a clean bill of health. What's more, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Douglas Luiz, James McAtee and Omari Hutchinson could all make their debuts for Nottingham Forest this weekend.
Crystal Palace: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Devenny
Nottingham Forest: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; N’Doye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Anything else catch the eye?
Backing both teams to get on the scoresheet at Selhurst Park on Sunday merits consideration at 4/5 on Boylesports.
This bet would have proven profitable in three of the last five top-flight tussles between the pair, including last season's showdown in South London.
It’s also worth noting that both teams hit the back of the net during Nottingham Forest’s victory over Brentford last Sunday.
