Nottingham Forest is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches. They have 2 losses in their last 5 matches and also have no wins in their last 6 straight. They have been managing to get points against some of the weaker teams in the league but their 2 losses in that span came against Liverpool and Man City who are both top 4 teams in the Premier League. They are going up against an Aston Villa side that is currently sitting in 5th place but is definitely pushing to be in the top 4 as they have the quality with one of the better teams in the league. Aston Villa has won their last 3 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches with no losses in that span. Their attack has been very good in these matches as well as they have scored at least 3 goals in each of their last 3 straight. Aston Villa is well rested and they are going to be pushing for 3 points here with the way Nottingham Forest has been playing recently. Nottingham Forest does not have the defense to keep Aston Villa out of their net here and Aston Villa also has a much better defense that will cause Nottingham to struggle on the attack. Aston Villa will win this match and collect all 3 points here.
