Verdict
With Aston Villa currently sitting in 5th place and coming off a strong performance against Club Brugge, they appear to be the favorites heading into this match. Nottingham Forest’s mixed form, highlighted by their recent draw with Brighton and a win against Ipswich, suggests they will put up a fight but may struggle against a Villa side that has shown resilience at home.
Based on current form and head-to-head results, a bet on Aston Villa to win seems like a wise choice, especially with their home advantage. A potential scoreline to look out for could be 2-1 in favor of Aston Villa, with both teams likely to find the net given the statistics on goals.
