We approach the middle point in the Premier League season, and we have a duel between aspiring teams once Nottingham Forest receives Aston Villa.
The Tricky Tree lost three of their previous four matches before last weekend’s thrilling 3-2 victory at Manchester United.
The Villians come with two wins in a row, the most recent against Southampton by 1-0.
They have identical Premier League records this season, winning seven, drawing four, and losing four in 15 games.

Why bet on Nottingham Forest?
The Tricky Trees have been dropping from the pace they started the season. However, the team has been producing some fine performances since key attacker Chris Wood returned to the starting XI, and we predict that the New Zealand attacker is going to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
Alex Moreno Lopera is ineligible to face his parent club, while both Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo are out of contention with injuries.
Being at home should favor them, but things are likely to be pretty close. Four of their seven league wins have come on the road this season, which has been an outbreak from their previous years’ performances.
Why bet on Aston Villa?
The Villans aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Southampton. Unai Emery’s troops, though, are on a three-game losing run on the road, which is probably the biggest factor to count into this bout.
Leon Bailey and Jacob Ramsey are sidelined with injuries for the away team, and that is also another point that makes it hard for us to believe that the team will land three points in this bout.
Final Betting Analysis: Nottingham Forest vs. Aston Villa
In their last 18 encounters, there is a clear dominance by Aston Villa, winning seven games contrary to three for Nottingham Forest. However, there have been eight draws.
The last four games tell a similar history, with two wins for Villa, one for Forest, and one draw.
The last time they faced was on February 24 at Villa Park for the Premier League. It ended 4-2 in favor of the locals. We believe it’ll be a close 1-1 tie.
Go for a draw at 3.605. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get 260.5 for a total payout of $360.5.
