Aston Villa is going through a strong period, and they are equally successful in several tournaments. Birmingham have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, made it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and won the Premier League in the previous two rounds and do not lose hope of competing for the top 4. At the moment, the overall winning streak in all tournaments has reached seven matches. The gap from the top four in the Premier League has been reduced to four points. In the previous round of the championship, Unai Emery's wards did not leave any chances for Brighton on the road, which is also on a decent rise right now – a 3-0 victory.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest has become the main opening of this season in the Premier League and is highly likely to finish in the top 4 and compete in the Champions League. After 30 rounds, the Foresters are firmly in third place, Chelsea are five points ahead from the fourth line, and Manchester City are six points ahead from the fifth position. The last match in the championship, the wards of Nuno Espirito Santo played on their own field with Manchester United and achieved a minimal 1-0 victory, scoring the only goal in the fifth minute. Nottingham is distinguished by a clear team game, knows how to act as the second number on the field, reliably blocks the approaches to its penalty area. In addition to their success in the Premier League, Foresters reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, beating Brighton in the 1/4 finals in a penalty shootout.

6.50Tip and bets
Aston Villa is on a seven-game winning streak, playing on home turf today and receiving the status of the favorite from the bookmakers. It will obviously be difficult for the hosts to achieve another victory. They have too difficult an opponent today, who is also on the move right now, on a six-match winless streak in all tournaments. Obviously, the Birmingham team will play the first number as hosts, which is very convenient for the foresters. More than once during the season, Nottingham Forest demonstrated the ability to clearly act from the opponent, on the counterattack, and at the same time block all approaches to their penalty area. We believe that the guests will be able to score at least one point in Birmingham.
Our betting tip is that Nottingham Forest will not lose by a factor of 1.79
Bet on the total
When choosing a total bet, we rely on the guests and their ability to work reliably in defense. In the last six matches in all competitions, Nottingham Forest only conceded two goals in the game against Ipswich, but they confidently led the score there and won 4-2. We do not think that Aston Villa will be able to crack the well-organized opponent's defense twice.
The second bet is Aston Villa's individual goal total of less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.90
A bet on yellow cards
In only two of the last eight away matches in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest players received more than two points. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for a reliable and confident bet based on statistics.
Betting Tip – the total number of Nottingham Forest yellow cards is less than 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.72
