Aston Villa - Nottingham Forest predictions

It’s easy to point out Aston Villa as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

With little time for significant changes, the most they can hope for is to stay the course and avoid relegation.

Tyrone Mings, Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.
