Villa's Home Fortress: Unbeaten Streak Ignites!
3 Jan
Summary
- Aston Villa holds a strong unbeaten record at home against Nottingham Forest.
- Nottingham Forest has struggled offensively this season with few goals scored.
- Ollie Watkins is in excellent scoring form, but his recent goals are away from home.
Aston Villa has cultivated a significant home advantage against Nottingham Forest, boasting an unbeaten streak in their last six Premier League fixtures at Villa Park, including five consecutive victories. This dominance extends to their recent form, with Villa winning their last 10 home games across all competitions. Nottingham Forest, conversely, is grappling with offensive struggles, having failed to score in 10 league games this season, the highest in the Premier League, and accumulating only 18 goals.
Despite striker Ollie Watkins's impressive scoring run, notching three goals in his last two appearances, his recent five league goals have all been scored away from home. This contrasts with Nottingham Forest's top scorers, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White, who each have three Premier League goals. The team's overall offensive output has been limited, with only Wolves scoring fewer goals.
This upcoming match pits Villa's formidable home form against Forest's recent improvements in away games against Villa, having secured two wins in their last four encounters. However, Forest's manager, Sean Dyche, has a challenging record at Villa Park, having lost his last two visits by a significant margin.
