Dimitar Berbatov has predicted how Nuno’s Nottingham Forest will fare against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa this weekend.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United striker thinks that there will be three goals in the Premier League match at Villa Park.
So, what has Dimitar Berbatov said about Aston Villa against Nottingham Forest? Let’s take a look.
Dimitar Berbatov predicts Nottingham Forest to lose to Aston Villa
Well, Dimitar Berbatov has been giving his thoughts ahead of the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.
Villa and Forest will lock horns with each other at Villa Park in the league on Saturday afternoon.
Unai Emery’s side are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 49 points from 25 matches.
The Villans are two points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, who are fifth. Villa are in the running for the Premier League top four.
Forest are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. Nuno’s side are only four points above the relegation zone in 16th.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov believes that Villa will pick up all three points from the encounter against Forest courtesy of a 2-1 win.
Berbatov told Metro: “Although Aston Villa have slipped a little, I still think they’re having a great season so far.
“I’d be surprised if Nottingham Forest beat Aston Villa. Aston Villa will win if they stay concentrated. Prediction 2-1.”
My View: Don’t write off Nottingham Forest
While I admit that Aston Villa have the better team against Nottingham Forest and are also at home, but no one should write off Nuno’s team.
After all, Forest beat West Ham United 2-0 at the City Ground in the Premier League last weekend. The Reds have improved under Nuno, and I think that they could win against Villa at Villa Park.
