Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy I’m Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Aston Villa to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/8 @ Bet365<\/a>
(38.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nVilla average 1.35 goals per game, Forest just 1.00. Forest concede 1.39 per match and have lost 15 of 31. Villa\u2019s home record against Forest is strong, and the 13\/8 implies 38% \u2014 I rate it nearer 45%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Morgan Gibbs-White Anytime Assist<\/strong><\/td>\n9\/2 @ Bet365<\/a>
(18.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nHe\u2019s Forest\u2019s creative hub with 2 assists from 31 games, which is low, but he\u2019s also created more big chances than anyone in their squad. At 9\/2, the implied probability is 18% \u2014 I make it closer to 23% given Villa\u2019s tendency to concede from open play.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
