Aston Villa to win (1/1 with Paddy Power)
Aston Villa have not lost at home in their last 19 Premier League and Champions League matches, a run that stretches back to August 2024 when Arsenal beat them. Forest have been much better at home than on the road this campaign. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has lost five of eight away from home against sides in the top 10.
Aston Villa most corners in each half & Forest most fouls in each half (7/1 with Paddy Power)
Aston Villa have averaged 6.48 corners won per game in the Premier League this season, the fourth-most in the division. Nottingham Forest have conceded 6.38 corners per game, the fifth-most in the Premier League. Forest lost the corner count 10-3 to Manchester United on Tuesday and with Villa the most fouled team in the league this term (13.2 pr game), this looks a great bet at 7/1.

How both teams go into Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
Aston Villa went into the March international break down in ninth, but they look to have found some form. The Villans won two of their three games before the break, losing the other. Those two wins came at the end of a five-game winless streak which saw Villa lose some ground in the race for the Champions League. But that’s only in terms of league position. Despite sitting seventh, Villa are only four points outside the top four.
Nottingham Forest look like they’ll be one of the Premier League teams in the Champions League next season. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are third after a strong season, with only Liverpool winning more games than their 16. They recently had a bit of a poor run, going winless in three in the league, losing two. But Forest won their two games since. It leaves five points clear of fourth, and six ahead of fifth. They’re very close.
