Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips: High-flying Villa to continue fine form

Nottingham Forest are seeking to snap a six-game winless streak when they host Aston Villa at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon (14:00). Using Betfred's #PickYourPunt, we've built a 9/1 treble for the occasion.

Aston Villa to win

Unai Emery's side have hit a rich vein of form of late, claiming victories in five of their last six league games, and drawing the other.

In addition, Villa have scored the joint-highest amount of goals in the Premier League with 26 after 10 games, and they're certainly capable of adding to that tally against a Forest side, who are without a clean sheet in four league games at the City Ground.

Forest's home form was imperative to their Premier League survival last season, but they've struggled to replicate that this term, and I'm expecting Villa to take advantage of that come Sunday.

Ollie Watkins to score first

Next up, I've gone with Ollie Watkins to score first, rather than anytime just to add some extra value.

The Aston Villa forward has 10 goal involvements - five goals and five assists - in as many games in the Premier League this season, and he's been an integral part of his side's impressive form.

He managed to find the back of the net against Forest last season, and he'll be confident he can add to his goal tally once again at the City Ground.

Over 2.5 goals

As mentioned above, high-flying Villa are the joint-highest scorers in the Premier League after 10 matches, and I would be very surprised if Forest can contain Unai Emery's men here -Villa have scored at least three goals in their last two matches.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of Aston Villa’s last seven matches in all competitions, and while Forest have only scored 10 in the league, they've conceded 15, suggesting that there will be goals in this one.
