On May 8, in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final, Aston Villa will host Nottingham Forest. In the first leg, Villa lost 0-1 to Forest away.
According to statistics, the last team to overturn a first-leg deficit against a team from the same nation in a European competition knockout tie was Atletico Madrid. It happened in the 2015-16 Champions League quarter-final, where Atletico Madrid lost 1-2 to Barcelona away in the first leg and won 2-0 at home against Barcelona in the second leg, completing the comeback.
Villa previously only reached the European final in the 1981-82 season, ultimately winning the Champions League that season.
Villa has won 9 consecutive European home games and 4 consecutive home games against Forest, with a clean sheet of two goals in 3 games.
