Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest tonight – can Villa turn this around at home?

Forest take a 1-0 lead into the second leg after Chris Wood’s penalty decided the first match.

It wasn’t a dominant performance from either side, but Nottingham now have something to protect, which makes this really interesting tactically.

Villa’s recent form hasn’t been great with back-to-back losses, but their European home form has been strong all season. Under pressure, they usually respond well at Villa Park.

Forest on the other hand are coming in with serious momentum:

• 4 straight wins
• Defending really well
• Confidence clearly growing

Feels like they’ll sit deeper tonight and try to protect the lead while looking for counter opportunities.

Our lean right now:
➡️ Aston Villa to win, GG & Over 2.5 goals
