Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest: Sky Bet's key markets for the second leg of tonight's Europa League semi-final

Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest go head-to-head at Villa Park tonight in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final. 

Forest edged the first meeting 1-0 at City Ground, with Chris Wood converting the decisive penalty to hand the Tricky Trees a narrow aggregate advantage.

That result was another statement from an in-form Nottingham Forest side, who have won four of their last five league matches, with those victories coming by a combined margin of 11 goals. 

Their strong recent form, coupled with their one-goal lead, makes them 8/11 favourites to progress to the final, either by protecting or extending their advantage. 

Aston Villa, meanwhile, are priced at evens (1/1) to turn the tie around and book their place in the showpiece event.

Alongside the odds for either side to win the tie, Sky Bet are offering four Price Boosts for this highly anticipated clash.

The enhanced selections include Igor Jesus to register 1+ shot on target, Ollie Watkins to score, Youri Tielemans to be shown a card, and both teams to record 6+ shots on target.

Those four bets have been boosted to 1/1, 15/8, 4/1 and 10/1 respectively.

Jesus has recorded eight shots on target across his last five appearances, while Watkins was on the scoresheet in Villa’s home leg of their quarter-final tie. Tielemans, meanwhile, was booked in the first leg against Forest.
