What the stats tell us about Villa vs Forest
Oliver Glasner started his Nottingham Forest tenure with a home defeat to Leeds in GW1 — a result that adds pressure to this tricky away day at Villa Park. Aston Villa are a step up in class: Watkins (16 goals in 2025/26) and Rogers (10 goals, 14 assists since arriving from Newcastle) form a fluid partnership. Villa averaged 5.6 corners per game at home last season, and with Forest's back line conceding 65 goals, Watkins's shots market and Villa's corner volume are the two strongest angles. McGinn's driving runs from midfield are another bookings candidate against Forest's pressed shape.
Result lean: Aston Villa win — home quality and Forest still finding feet under new manager
Corners: Villa most corners — 5.6 per game at Villa Park, Watkins and Rogers generate the pressure
Cards: Forest most cards — Yates the standout individual booking pick away from home
