Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest will be a curious match but we have some clear expectations. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

We think that Aston Villa may play one of their best matches in the current season here. Their form right now is absolutely unbelievable and they should be able to win this game. But we also expect them to score multiple goals in thisd match and potentially even concede. This will either be a 2:0 or a bigger result, we do not see anything with less than 2 goals for Villa.

Match Result Prediction: Aston Villa to Win

Aston Villa have turned their season around under Emery and right now are an actual contender for Top 5. The team has five wins in the last six games in the Premier League and they even beat some teams like Chelsea. Nottingham are in a terrible form again and especially on the road, they will have almost no chance.

Correct Score Prediction: 3:1 to Aston Villa

We expect a high scoring game here mostly because of Nottingham's bad defense and Aston Villa's incredible attack. Back a few years ago, the games between the two teams in the Championship were always goal-packed. When we compare the Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest line ups, we think that the hosts are the much better team.

Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest: Form, Recent Games, and News

Aston Villa Preview

Aston Villa did not have a good start this year and until recently, they were in danger of relegation. There was not much to expect from the team this season and the main goal was to remain in the elite. But right now, there are few teams that are ion better form than them and they have five wins in the last six games in the Premier League. Aston Villa are actually just 6 points away from Top 5 and their chances are real now.

Players to Watch: Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

Ollie Watkins is having his best period to date in his career. He had a slow start to the season but after the managerial change in Villa, he has become clinical in front of the goal. He scored 8 goals in the last ten games in the Premier League. You can also bet on him to score first in the match as he scored 5 of his goals within the first 30 minutes of the game.

Nottingham Forest Preview

The team overdid it on the transfer market last summer and attacked something like 25 new players, some very solid ones. It took them half a season to start showing signs of improvement and any chemistry but right now, Nottingham have turned into a very solid home team. They have two defeats in the last ten home games and right now, it feels like they may remain in the PL for another season. But the bad results on the road continue and they need to win some points on the road.

Players to Watch: Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)

Morgan Gibbs-White is Nottingham's playmaker this season and no other player has created more chances than him in this team – 54. He has also provided five assists in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest are a tough team to bet on a goalscorer and this is why we are betting on the person that is most likely to provide an assist to someone.
