Forest have been experiencing a sluggish state recently. In their last away
game, they suffered a 0-3 defeat to Liverpool, extending their win-less streak
to six league games. However, the pressure of relegation is relatively low for
them due to the poor performances of several newly promoted teams this season.
Despite their overall strength not being exceptional, Nottingham Forest have
proven to be strong in home games. In the league so far, they have achieved one
win and three draws in four home matches, remaining undefeated. They adopt a
defensive counterattacking approach, focusing on solid defensive play and quick
transitions. They have scored 10 goals while conceding 15 in the league,
displaying a decent performance in both offense and defence.

In the
previous league match, Aston Villa secured a 3-1 victory over Luton Town at
home, continuing their impressive form. They have achieved five wins, one draw,
and no defeats in their last six games, indicating a strong momentum. Aston Villa
have had a dream start to the season, accumulating seven wins, one draw, and
two losses in the first 10 rounds. This promising performance has sparked hopes
of competing for a Champions League spot. Under the coaching of Unai Emery,
Aston Villa have made a lasting impression. They have showcased an attacking
prowess, having scored 26 goals while conceding 14 in the league so far. Their
offensive firepower has impressed even the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool,
and Arsenal, leading to recognition from renowned football clubs.
Indeed,
there is a notable difference in overall strength and recent form between Aston
Villa and Nottingham Forest. Aston Villa are obviously the stronger side.,
Furthermore, they hold a psychological advantage due to their previous
encounters, having achieved one win and one draw against Nottingham Forest in
the previous season. In addition, Aston Villa have displayed even stronger
overall strength and performance this season compared to the previous one. This
further enhances their confidence and determination to secure a victory when
facing a struggling Nottingham Forest side in the current campaign.
