“Paul Merson’s Jaw-Dropping Prediction for Crystal Palace vs. Forest. His Shocking take on Crystal Palace will Leave Ylyou Speechless
So far this Premier League season, Crystal Palace is still searching for their first win after seven matches, making Monday’s game a crucial one for them.
With the October international break behind them, the Eagles must now start earning points. Currently, they sit 18th in the league and are viewed as potential relegation candidates.
During the break, manager Oliver Glasner has been refining his tactics, but the team’s recent friendly against Ipswich ended in a draw, offering little encouragement.
Alan Shearer’s predictions in the Metro paint a bleak picture for Palace fans. He notes that the team has underperformed and struggled defensively, particularly after losing Joachim Andersen and facing speculation around Marc Guehi. He believes Nottingham Forest, buoyed by Chris Wood’s scoring and home advantage, will likely win.
Paul Merson also weighed in on the match, emphasizing that while Palace is struggling, he doesn’t believe they’re in immediate danger of relegation. He feels that once Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze find their rhythm, they’ll be safe. However, he warns that if Leicester wins and Palace loses, it could increase pressure on the team. Merson predicts a high-scoring draw, suggesting a 2-2 outcome.
Chris Sutton, predicting the match for the BBC, echoes the sentiment that Palace needs a win urgently. He notes that Glasner is aware of the need for a turnaround, as the team’s recent performances have been shaky. Sutton expects a Nottingham Forest victory but acknowledges Palace’s potential to surprise, as Forest has yet to win at home this season. He predicts a narrow 1-0 win for Forest, which could put further pressure on Glasner.
Despite the challenges, Glasner can draw some confidence from their second-half performance against Liverpool, but he knows the team must start securing points quickly.
