Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Here, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head records and recent meetings between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 72

Crystal Palace wins: 17

Draws: 25

Nott'm Forest wins: 30

Nottingham Forest boast a major advantage in this head-to-head, with 30 wins to Crystal Palace's 17, though the two clubs have shaken hands on a draw 25 times, including in three straight Premier League games from May 2023 to March 2024.

That string of stalemates was snapped in October 2024, when the Garibaldis prevailed 1-0 over their capital counterparts courtesy of a Chris Wood strike, one that helped extend Forest's undefeated streak in this fixture to eight matches.

The Tricky Trees have been one of the Eagles' bogey teams over the years, having only been beaten once by the Londoners in the Premier League, winning four times and playing out eight draws in the competition.

Most recently, Oliver Glasner - who won the FA Cup and UEFA Conference League with Palace - brought his Forest side to Selhurst Park in October 2026, suffering a 3-1 defeat on his return to South London.

That loss marked the end of the Garibaldis' 12-game top-flight unbeaten streak against the Eagles, which had made Palace the opponent they faced the most times without ever losing in the division.

It was also the first time that Palace managed to come out on the correct end of the scoreline against Forest since the 2011-12 Championship season, when Glenn Murray's strike was enough for a 1-0 win at the City Ground.

The Eagles had to go even further back to December 2003 for a prior home victory over Forest, when Andy Johnson scored the only goal in a 1-0 success.

One record that still stands is that Palace have never beaten Forest by more than three goals, whereas the Garibaldis have won by five goals on two occasions, 6-1 in a 1951 Division Three South game and 5-0 in a 1989 League Cup tie.
