Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have been hard to split since the Reds returned to the Premier League three years ago.
Four of their six subsequent encounters have ended in stalemate, including all three meetings at Selhurst Park.
With both teams having made a solid start to the current campaign, 21/10 for another draw on Sunday is an obvious pick for our first Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest prediction.

Despite off-field issues involving the usual transfer speculation over key players and a frustrating demotion from the Europa League, Palace have shown lots of their trademark resilience.
The Eagles followed up last season’s FA Cup success by adding the Community Shield to the Selhurst Park trophy cabinet, twice coming from behind to draw with Liverpool before prevailing on penalties.
Faced with a tough league opener at Chelsea, Oliver Glasner’s men battled hard to grind out a goalless stalemate.
The visitors were put under pressure at set-pieces early on but then came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock themselves as Eberechi Eze blasted in a free-kick, only for Marc Guehi to be pulled up for infringing new rules by getting too close to the defensive wall.
Jean-Philippe Mateta fired too close to Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez after some neat build-up play and Eze had a fierce long-range shot turned over the bar, but chances were generally few and far between at both ends.
Looking at the Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest odds, none of their last six clashes have produced more than two goals, so 3/4 for that trend to continue will be popular.
Nott. Forest Form Guide
Nottingham Forest form guide
Forest were impressive in the first half of last season before just fading a bit late on to finish seventh and got off to a fast start this term.
A Chris Wood brace and a debut strike from Dan Ndoye gave them a 3-0 half-time lead over Brentford at the City Ground.
The Bees scored a consolation goal from the penalty spot in the second period but it was a dominant overall display from Forest, with Morgan Gibbs-White especially influential.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men combined well going forward before the break and were solid in defence, so there was a lot to like about this performance.
However, we still haven’t forgotten that they only netted once across seven pre-season friendlies and fear things will be much tighter at Selhurst Park.
Let’s add 13/8 for this match to be 0-0 at half-time to our Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest betting tips, which would have paid out in both meetings last term.
