Prediction for Villa game

I don't like going public on my match predictions because I usually end up looking a bit stupid when I'm later proven wrong. However, the flip side is that no one believes me when I predict the scoreline right and keep it to myself until after the game!

I'm going for a nil-nil today. We've not lost at Villa Park in our last 11 League visits and Villa haven't beaten us home and away in the same season since the 1992-93 season (17 seasons ago). The last time we went to Villa Park having lost 3-1 to them at home earlier in the season, we won 2-1. A repeat would be great but I'm going for a 0-0 on the basis that it has been the most common result in this fixture in the last 10 years occurring 4 times (including last season). During that period we've won 5 and drawn 5 (the other draw was 1-1).

Update (Post Match): I was nearly right but happy to be wrong!
