Aston Villa will be desperate to record their first win of the season when they welcome Nottingham Forest to Villa Park after another frustrating weekend, with a goalless draw against Hull extending their difficult start. Villa have lost three of their last four matches and remain winless at home across their last two, scoring just 1.00 goal per game there. Their summer rebuild has followed the departures of Rogers, Watkins and Tielemans. Manzambi is injured, while Ibrahim Mbaye could make his debut.
Nottingham Forest are also searching for their first win of the season after drawing 0-0 with Tottenham. The visitors have won just 10% of their last 10 matches and are yet to win away, losing three of their last four road games. Forest have scored only 1.00 goal per away match while conceding 2.50. Nicolo Savona remains injured, with Igor Jesus and Daniel Munoz pushing for starts.
As both sides have struggled for attacking consistency of late, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw bets seem tempting.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 12 September 2026 at 15:00.
