Nottingham Forest are back in action after the international break tomorrow night when Crystal Palace arrive on Trentside.

Forest drew 1-1 with Chelsea last time out with Chris Wood scoring the goal for the Reds and drawing praise from Ally McCoist.

Since the start of the campaign Forest have taken eight points away from home and just two from three games on home soil.

With that in mind, the Reds need to get things sorted on home soil – starting with tomorrow’s game against Palace at the City Ground.

Lots of pundits have already changed their minds on Forest, with Robbie Earle backing down on his relegation prediction before the international break.

Ahead of tomorrow’s game, certain pundits have been making their predictions and one can’t seen to decide how the game will go.

Ray Parlour predicts Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace

The Reds go into this one with a pretty decent record against Palace since returning to the Premier League.

Forest drew both games last season with the Eagles and tomorrow night will see the Reds go in search of a victory instead.

Ray Parlour changed his mind live on air regarding the score of the match and he believes that Forest could now claim a big three points.

Parlour said on TalkSPORT: “I have gone 1-1 as well. Crystal Palace have always been known as a draw specialist, so that’s why it’s down as 1-1. I will go 1-0 Forest then. I will change it, and I will go Wood (to score).”

Forest need to take the game to Palace

The last home game saw Forest lost in pretty drab circumstances to Fulham, with Nuno Espirito Santo picking the wrong team completely.

Tomorrow, Forest need a more forward-thinking approach to the game and hopefully, the head coach has learned something from the last home fixture.

If the Reds are to kick on this season they simply have to sort out the form on home soil and ultimately that has to change quickly.

Two points have been claimed from three matches on Trentside so far this season and a victory is required ahead of Friday’s clash with Leicester.

The Foxes won 3-2 yesterday from 2-0 behind and Forest have to get their own confidence boost going into that game when they face Palace.
