Champions League chasing Aston Villa and Notts Forest meet at Villa Park in a mouthwatering Saturday evening Premier League showdown. Villa are currently on a six game winning run that has seen them qualify for the semi finals of the FA Cup and the quarter finals of the Champions League. They are also just two points off the top five in the Premier League, so victory on Saturday will significantly boost their chances of returning to Europe's top table next season. 

Forest's dream season is showing no signs of slowing down. Tuesday night's 1-0 victory over Manchester United means they now have a seven point cushion over the teams chasing them for a Champions League place, whilst last Saturday's penalty shootout victory at Brighton has put them in the FA Cup semi finals for the first time in over 30 years.

Our Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

These are two of the hottest teams in the Premier League and we are expecting plenty of fireworks on Saturday evening. Villa have been scoring goals for fun since picking up Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio on loan in January, whilst Forest's away form has been consistently strong throughout the season. We're reluctant to predict a winner in this one, but are confident there will be plenty of goalmouth action. As such, we really like the odds of 3.10 on there being at least four goals in the game. Our prediction for Aston Villa v Notts Forest is: Over 3.5 goals.

Prediction:
