Combo Winner : Nottingham Forest and -3.5 goals

Aston Villa have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins but also a heavy loss, and they've generally struggled against Nottingham Forest in recent meetings. Forest, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last few games, though they've drawn a lot, and they seem to be in slightly better shape overall.

Recent matches between these two have often been close and not packed with goals, with several ending one-one or two-one. Given Forest's better form and their strong record in this fixture, this looks like a tight game that could go either way, but Forest appear the more likely to edge it or at least avoid defeat.
