Aston Villa will host Nottingham Forest at Villa Park on September 12, 2026, in a Premier League clash that sees two teams with differing season trajectories. Villa, sitting comfortably with 17 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses, have enjoyed a solid campaign, netting 47 goals while conceding 41. Their recent form has been a little inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five outings.
Forest, conversely, find themselves in a more precarious position, having secured just 8 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses, scoring 32 goals and conceding 44. Their recent run suggests resilience, with one win and three draws from their last five, though victories remain elusive. Head-to-head encounters have been mixed, including a dominant 4-0 Villa win and a narrow 1-0 Forest victory, indicating unpredictability. Villa are strong favourites with a 45% win probability, matching the likelihood of a draw (45%), while Forest’s chances are rated at just 10%. Expect a tightly contested affair where Villa will aim to assert their home dominance, while Forest will fight for crucial points, potentially setting up a low-scoring, cagey encounter.
