Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Prediction
Aston Villa have been on a good run in recent matches and as they host struggling Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, the target is to keep the momentum. European football remains within Aston Villa’s reach being seventh in the league standings with 44 points, just six points adrift of fifth place. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are just outside the relegation zone by goal difference being 17th with 27 points. Aston Villa come into this game having beaten 10-man Leicester City 2-1 in their last game. That was their sixth unbeaten outing, and in that run they have registered five wins. Six times in their last 10 matches, Aston Villa have scored two or more goals and in their last six matches they have posted four clean sheets. The hosts have really benefited from Ollie Watkins’ scoring form and they will carry that threat in attack going into this game. Watkins’ goal against Leicester was his 11th of the league campaign.
Nottingham Forest will go into this game without a win in the last eight matches. They are coming from a 2-1 loss away to Leeds United in their last game. This was their third defeat in the last four matches and one area that they will need to improve on is the defence. Nottingham have scored first in the last three matches but went on to lose two and draw the other. In two of their last three matches, they have conceded inside the final 10 minutes and they have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. Both teams have scored in Nottingham Forest’s last five matches and they have only one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. They’ve scored in each of their last five matches but away from home, things haven't been very rosy, losing six of the last seven matches on the road.

Aston Villa are enjoying a rich vein of form and this is a game they will be expected to win. Unai Emery has transformed the team since taking over and with a six-game unbeaten run that has five wins, any other result but a win will be a shock. Nottingham Forest have been conceding a lot and have a long run without a win coming into this game. Our prediction for the Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest game is a home win and over 2.5 goals.
