There is a glorious simplicity about analysing this match: a solid defence meets a tame attack.
Nottingham Forest are astutely organised and a very tricky team to break down, as shown by their goals conceded tally of just six goals this season - the second best record in the Premier League. Then we have Palace, who have scored just five goals in their seven Premier League games this season and have a front-line lacking significantly in confidence.
However, Forest aren't a team to trust to get the job done at the City Ground having won just five of their 22 Premier League home games since last August. That explains why they are as big as 11/8 with Sky Bet for this one.
When a game is projected to be low on goals the draw becomes a big runner, and both fixtures ended in stalemate last season. The draw and under 2.5 goals - basically backing either a 0-0 or a 1-1 - looks a smart play at 3/1 with Sky Bet.
