Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Betting Tips - BTTS

Both teams come into Saturday's Premier League encounter in high spirits after recording 3:2 away victores in their most recent fixtures. 

Nottingham Forest return to the City Ground this weekend after a thrilling 3:2 win at Manchester United last weekend. Chris Wood´s tenth goal of the season secured a famous road victory for Nuno Espírito Santo´s side.

Flying high in fifth place, Forest have enjoyed a spectacular opening half to the season with 25 points collected from 15 games played. 

While the hosts have won three of their last four home matches, Forest can expect a stiff test from a Villa side buoyed by their midweek win against RB Leipzig. A superb performance in Germany saw the Villains score a superb 3:2 win that all but secured a top eight finish in the Champions League. 

Unai Emery´s side lost their three previous away matches in the EPL and while their domestic form has not been quite as impressive this season, Tuesday´s win in Germany should give them a big lift heading into this weekend's top six clash.

On the road, goals can usually be expected when Villa are involved. Seven of their last eight away EPL games saw over 2.5 goals scored while five of their seven most recent away league matches saw BTTS.

With both sides in good form and fighting for a top six position, a competitive and engaging contest with plenty of chances at both ends is expected.

BTTS is my first choice, while I wouldn't be surprised to see a minimum of three goals scored at the City Ground.
