Following a tense first match where Nottingham Forest secured a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to a Chris Wood penalty, all eyes are on the return fixture in Birmingham.\n\nRenowned commentator Semyon Zigaev has weighed in with his prediction for the crucial encounter. He is backing Nottingham Forest to advance, offering a betting line of 1.72 for their progression. Zigaev's analysis points to a significant shift in momentum between the two English clubs.\n\nThe first leg, played last week, was a tactical affair. The opening half was largely uneventful, with the hosts, Aston Villa, enjoying more possession and creating a couple of half-chances but failing to break the deadlock. The second half saw Nottingham Forest grow into the game, applying more pressure before earning and converting a decisive penalty midway through the period.\n\nDomestically, the teams' recent form tells a contrasting story. Aston Villa, despite sitting comfortably in the Premier League's top five, have hit a rough patch. They suffered a defeat against relegation-battling Tottenham, though their six-point cushion with three games remaining means their Champions League qualification for next season is virtually secure.\n\nNottingham Forest, meanwhile, are engaged in a survival fight at the other end of the table. They delivered a statement performance on Monday, defeating Chelsea 3-1 away from home. That victory moved them six points clear of the relegation zone with three matches left, making their Premier League status almost certain to be preserved.\n\nZigaev notes that with their primary season objectives effectively achieved, both teams can now focus entirely on the European semi-final. However, he highlights a critical factor: Aston Villa are on a three-game losing streak and have not performed well in those matches. In stark contrast, Nottingham Forest are riding a wave of confidence, unbeaten in their last ten matches and currently on a five-game winning run.\n\nThis combination of Villa's poor form and Forest's exceptional run of results leads Zigaev to believe the visitors have the upper hand. The prediction suggests Nottingham Forest will not only protect their first-leg lead but could also secure their place in the Europa League final.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Commentator Semyon Zigaev predicts Nottingham Forest will advance past Aston Villa in the Europa League semi-final second leg, citing Forest's strong form and Villa's recent slump.","326257546425798656","Aston Villa","327750788782755841","326135625054949376","Premier League","327052238641958912","Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest","2026-05-07T08:00:07Z","expert-prediction-nottingham-forest-favored-to-advance-in-europa-league-semi","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fbets\u002Fnews-6459264-aston-villa-nottingem-forest-prognoz-semyona-zigaeva-na-polufinal-ligi-evropy.html",[45,50,62,63,64,65,66,67],"326257807814823936","326257546094448640","326257546220277760","326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326255038584328192",[46,51,69,70,71,72,73,74],"Birmingham","Tottenham","Chelsea","Anderlecht","Canada","Legia Warszawa","Expert Prediction: Nottingham Forest Favored to Advance in Europa League Semi-Final Against Aston Villa",[77,108,138,161],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":78,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":79,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":80,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":81,"slug":82,"sourceName":83,"sourceURL":84,"teamId":85,"teamName":86,"teamIds":87,"teamNames":97,"title":107},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
