Aston Villa take on the visitors Nottingham in the round 30 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 8th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Aston Villa have been looking simply amazing lately. Under Unai Emery's leadership, they have won five out of their last six Premier League matches, only drawing once against West Ham in an away match (1-1). Moreover, Everton, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Leicester were all beaten with a total score of 10-1. Thanks to such a brilliant run, the Birmingham team is already in seventh place in the table, with only two points separating them from sixth-placed Brighton. It is unlikely that the "Lions" intend to share points with the worst away team in the league.

Nottingham Forest are currently outside the relegation zone in the table but is only ahead of Bournemouth, who are there, on additional indicators in case of equal points. In their last four matches, Steve Cooper's team has suffered three defeats, drawing only against Wolverhampton in a home match, and losing to Tottenham, Newcastle, and Leeds. The "Foresters" look simply terrible away from home this season. While they periodically collect points at home, they almost never do so on the road. In their last four Premier League matches away from home, Nottingham has suffered four defeats. I think it's worth expecting a fifth loss on the road in a row.
One can argue that the visitors need points more, as they are fighting for survival. But this does not cancel out the fact that Birmingham is the clear favorite in this match. They are in excellent form and are also playing at home. Nottingham Forest is the worst Premier League team in terms of away statistics. In 14 such matches, the "Foresters" have earned only 6 points, suffering 10 defeats. This team has been unable to even draw away from home for four consecutive matches. I think they will lose again. My bet is on an Aston Villa victory.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win.
