Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson is with Aston Villa, with goals also on the agenda.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| George Hemmings 2+ fouls committed | 7/4 | George Hemmings has made an aggressive start to life in Aston Villa’s first team, committing two or more fouls in five of his six starts so far. The midfielder was also known for getting stuck in during his time at youth level, and he has carried that combative approach into senior football. At 7/4 with bet365, backing Hemmings to commit at least two fouls looks worth considering. |
| Match Result: Draw | 12/5 | Neither side has made a convincing start to the Premier League season, and another close contest could be on the cards at Villa Park. Aston Villa have struggled for goals, while Nottingham Forest have shown encouraging signs under Oliver Glasner without consistently turning performances into wins. Glasner also has an excellent record against Unai Emery, which could give the visitors another edge. However, with both teams lacking attacking fluency, the draw at 12/5 looks a tempting option. |
