Forest Green enters this fixture in a commanding position, firmly entrenched in the semi-final play-off spots with a 7-point cushion over Oldham. While their recent away form (D1, L1) might raise some concerns, their return to The New Lawn should provide a timely boost. At home, they have been formidable, going 8 matches unbeaten in all competitions (W5, D3) and, crucially, maintaining an undefeated record in league fixtures.

For Woking, the outlook is far less promising. Hovering just above the relegation zone, they sit 6 points clear of danger but have played a game more than 21st-placed Wealdstone.

Forest Green’s consistency at home, combined with Woking’s season-long struggles, suggests a routine victory for the hosts.

This clash between 2 Champions League hopefuls is poised to be an open and goal-laden affair, with both sides expected to make their mark on the scoresheet.

Aston Villa have been nothing short of exceptional at home, riding a 13-game unbeaten streak across all competitions at Villa Park. However, defensive frailties remain a persistent issue, often leaving their attack to salvage results. This is evident in their staggering BTTS rate – 79% of their home league games have seen both teams score, with their last 9 matches in all competitions following the same pattern. Villa have kept just 2 clean sheets at home in the Premier League, highlighting their vulnerability at the back.

Chelsea’s away form has nosedived since December, transitioning from a 5-game winning streak to a winless run of 6 on the road. Yet, despite these struggles, their ability to find the net remains intact. Conceding 11 goals in their last s6 away games while keeping just 4 clean sheets in 19 away matches underlines their defensive issues. However, an overall away scoring average of 1.92 goals per game this season suggests they still pose an attacking threat – 1 they will need to reignite if they hope to maintain their top-4 challenge.

Recent history between these sides further supports this bet, with 3 of their last 4 Villa Park meetings seeing BTTS land. Given Villa’s attacking prowess and defensive frailties, alongside Chelsea’s scoring potential, this fixture looks set to deliver goals at both ends.
