Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Prediction

Aston Villa are firing on all cylinders. They have managed a run of five wins and a draw in the last six games in all competitions to climb to fifth place in the Premier League standings as a consequence.

Unai Emery’s men play super-attractive football this year and they currently own the joint-best attacking record in the league with 26 goals scored in 10 outings.

The Lions have bagged as many as 11 goals in the previous three wins across competitions. Their latest victims were Luton Town as Villa dispatched the top-flight newcomers 3-1 last Sunday in Birmingham.

Aston Villa will be looking to extend the tremendous run of results on Sunday afternoon when they visit The City Ground for the Matchday No 11 fixture against Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham revealed their defensive holes in the last two rounds, shipping five goals in the matches against Luton (a disappointing 2-2 draw at home) and Liverpool (a 0-3 defeat on the road).

The Reds are winless in four successive home matches in all competitions despite facing Burnley twice, Brentford, and Luton along the way.

Latest Meetings

Aston Villa have four wins and two draws in the previous six meetings with the Reds.

Historically, however, Villa managed only 11 victories in the last 46 trips to The City Ground.

Neither of the last season’s two Premier League clashes between these teams saw three or more goals scored.

The Verdict

Villa are flying high and we can hardly see them dropping the ball against an out-of-form Nottingham Forest side, even despite their poor historical record at The City Ground.

The away win is the way to go at the 1.83 odds while we also fancy the 2.50 odds offered for Villa’s talisman Ollie Watkins to score anytime past the leaky Forest defense that allowed five goals in the last two league matches.
