Nottingham Forest welcome Aston Villa to the City Ground Stadium on Monday, October 10. What to expect from this game? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Nottingham Forest
EnglandNottingham Forest are back to the elite for the first time since 1999. They had a great 2021-2022 season and spent 161 million euros on new players in the summer. Taiwo Awoniyi, Neco Williams, and Moussa Niakhaté have joined the team. Former Union Berlin player has been doing really well in the new team and is currently the top scorer for the Tricky Trees.
In the first Premier League games, Steve Cooper's men beat West Ham (1:0) and drew against Everton (1:1). After that, however, the team suffered six consecutive defeats. Last weekend, Nottingham Forest lost to Leicester City (0:4). Currently, the team is bottom of the log with four points and six goals scored in eight games.
Richards, Niakhate,and Mangala have been ruled out through injuries.
Aston Villa
EnglandSeven times English champions Aston Villa endured a few bad years. Last season, they finished in 14th place in the Premier League. The club spent around 70 million in the summer transfer window, but so far, the Villans' results are nothing to write home about.
Steven Gerrard's men kicked off the new season with a landslide victory over Bolton in the League Cup, but in the Premier League, they chalked up only eight points from eight games. The team is in 14th place in the standings. After a slender (1:0) victory over Southampton, Gerrard's side drew against Leed United (0:0). They have looked poor on offense, having scored only six goals in eight matches.
Kamara, Augustinsson, Digne, and Diego Carlos are all out injured.

Tip and bets
We expect an open game with multiple attacks and scoring chances. The hosts have nothing to lose and are likely to go all out at home against one of the weaker Premier League teams. Aston Villa are in poor form and might not be able to win, but we think they can sneak in a goal or two due to Nottingham's unreliable defense.
Our prediction — both to score
It is quite difficult to pick a favourite in this fixture. The Tricky Trees have a lengthy losing streak, which they will strive to break at home. Aston Villa earned points in the last three games, two of which ended in draws. We think that a draw is a likely result in the upcoming match.
Second bet — draw
