Nottingham Forest are still adjusting to the pace of the Premier League despite a string of summer signings. It’s always going to be a slow start for a team that made over 22 signings over the summer. On Monday night, they were trounced 4-0 by Leicester City at King Power, a result many saw coming. As a result, they would need a reaction. Although they are the underdogs for this clash and have won only one game in the league so far, Nottingham can still steal the show. After all, it’s a home game.
Having failed to get on the score sheet on Monday night against the Foxes, the home side will look to ensure this isn’t a normality by getting on the scoreboard against the Villans. Prior to the Leicester defeat, Nottingham had scored four goals in their last two games and both games were at home. They feel comfortable playing on their ground and scoring wouldn’t be an issue, plus Aston Villa have conceded 10 goals in eight league games though.
Both teams are struggling at the back currently and it should be an easy demand to expect at least two goals from the game. It would be fair to expect three as well, given Nottingham’s shaky back line.
Asmuch as Aston Villa are the favourites for this clash, there are high chances that this fixture could end in a score draw. Nottingham Forest quickly want to recover from Monday’s thrashing by Leicester and a draw or win should do just that.
