Will Nottingham Forest avoid Premier League relegation? Take our predictor and find out
Nottingham Forest faces a crucial period ahead as they battle to secure their place in the Premier League. Following their 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, they have temporarily escaped the relegation zone. However, maintaining their position requires considerable effort to prevent slipping back into the bottom three.
Currently, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team sits just above relegation by goal difference alone, with a precarious -16 compared to Luton Town’s -19 in 18th place. They urgently need to widen the gap between themselves and the teams below.
With four of their remaining eight matches taking place at the City Ground, including the upcoming game against Fulham, Forest has opportunities to accumulate crucial points, especially with three away matches against teams in similar positions.
The significance of their draw with Palace will only become clear at the season’s end. While it salvaged a point, Forest’s fans may feel it could have been better, considering they had to come from behind to secure it.
With only one league victory in 2024, Forest understands the urgency of improving their performance to avoid relegation. Nuno emphasized the tight competition in the league and stressed the importance of focusing on their own results, acknowledging that their draw with Palace is only valuable if followed by a positive outcome against Fulham.
