Premier League: We're expecting an absorbing and very important game between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa at The City Ground. Both are in need of a good run!
- Nottingham Forest is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Aston Villa have yet to win a game away.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
The Premier League statistics playing at home this season for Nottingham Forest are 1-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Nottingham with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Tottenham Hotspur game, 43 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
No payout for Nottingham Forest in their previous match, an away game at Leicester City that ended in defeat 0-4. As you see from the result above, Nottingham Forest suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfielder Freuler was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.04 (out of ten) in that game. Freuler hit one key pass and had 30 successful passes (of 34 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Fulham (2-3).Nottingham are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games.
