Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Head-to-Head

These clubs have quite a bit of history, with their first meeting way back in 1890. They met several times from the early years of the Football League through much of the 20th century, both in the First Division as well as the FA Cup & League Cup.

The teams clashed in the 1959 FA Cup semi-finals, in which Nottingham Forest claimed a narrow 1-0 win and subsequently beat Luton Town in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Both Nottingham Forest & Aston Villa were founding members of the Premier League in 1992, with the Villans winning home & away versus NFFC in the inaugural season. Forest faced AVFC in the FA Cup quarter-finals in 1996, resulting in a 1-0 victory for the latter, but they would lose to eventual runners-up Liverpool in the semi-finals.

Aston Villa spent three years outside the Premier League from 2016-19, during which time the teams both competed in the EFL Championship.

In what was their first Premier League meeting in 23 years, Nottingham Forest & Aston Villa played out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground in October 2022. The following season Ola Tina & Orel Mandala found the net early in either half, steering NFFC to a 2-0 win over in this fixture.
