💡 KEY FACTORS

Early in first half at 0-0; Aston Villa slight home favourite but Nottingham Forest's recent form (5W) and away record (WWDWW) keep this competitive.

Only 2 minutes elapsed — scoreline neutral, form and quality dominate

Aston Villa higher league position (2 vs 13, +7 pts) but Forest on 5-match winning streak

Aston Villa home advantage offset by Villa's recent slump (LLLWW) and Forest's away consistency (WWDWW)
