Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Picks: Bet on High-Scoring Match on December 14

Buoyed by a splendid 3-2 win over Manchester United, Nottingham Forest will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Aston Villa on Saturday. Let’s preview the game and make my top two Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa betting predictions.

The Reds have been producing fine performances ever since key attacker Chris Wood returned to the starting lineup and we predict that the New Zealand attacker is going to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.

Alex Moreno Lopera is ineligible to face his parent club while both Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo are out of contention with injuries. Check the latest soccer news before placing your bets.

2 Picks for Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa

1. Bet on BTTS & Over 2½ Goals (+110)

Expect a game as tight as the Premier League table would suggest. Aston Villa are managing midweek fatigue and have failed to keep the back door shut away from home all season long.

Emery’s men are in a good way at the minute, though, and as Forest are still prone to inconsistency on home soil, Nuno Santo’s men may have to settle for the one point on this occasion.

The match holds significance as both teams aim to solidify their positions in the middle of the table. If you’re looking for a great value in your Premier League soccer pick, you should back the combo of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
