Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest result predicted by supercomputer
Aston Villa host Nottingham Forest on Saturday as they continue their push for Champions League qualification yet again.
Unai Emery’s men head into their clash with Forest in red-hot form, having won their last six games across all competitions.
Villa booked their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 3-0 win at Preston last Sunday, thanks to Marcus Rashford’s brace and Jacob Ramsey’s goal.
The West Midlands giants then continued their strong run in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Brighton on Wednesday.
Aston Villa set to beat Nottingham Forest
Forest sit third in the Premier League table heading into their trip to Villa Park, thanks to a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Tuesday.
| Opponent | Result |
| Brentford (A) | 0-1 W |
| Club Brugge (H) | 3-0 W |
| Preston (A) | 0-3 W |
| Brighton (A) | 0-3 W |
However, Opta’s supercomputer has predicted that Emery’s men have a 46.1 per cent chance of defeating Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.
Meanwhile, Forest have a 29.1 per cent chance of defeating Villa as per the supercomputer, and a draw stands at 24.8 per cent.
A win over Forest would be a fantastic result for Villa
As the season nears its end, Emery’s men have hit top form at exactly the right time as they approach the final weeks.
Enjoying nine wins in a row would be a fantastic feat for Villa at any point in the season, but it is particularly impressive for the West Midlands giants, who have a Champions League quarter-final tie with PSG around the corner, as well as an FA Cup semi-final.
But while Emery’s side appear to be unstoppable right now, Forest have provided one of the best narratives of the Premier League campaign as they close in on Champions League football despite narrowly escaping relegation last term.
Espirito Santo’s men have not lost since February, so a win for Emery and Co on Saturday would mark a brilliant result for the West Midlands outfit amid their quest to land a European spot again.
