According to the pundits, Nottingham Forest have the better chance of victory. As favourites, they are signified by Mars, ruler of the 1st house and the Sun, ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites).
Their rivals, Brentford, are represented by Venus (ruler of the opposing 7th house) and Saturn, lord of the 4th house (the house of victory for the underdogs).
The Sun is placed in the 7th house, which might be expected to show Nottingham Forest’s hopes of victory in the power of their rivals. However, in contest charts, a team’s significator must be placed within 1-2 degrees to be considered worthy of note, so this testimony does not count.
The conjunction of the benefic North Node and Saturn (lord of the 4th house, the house of victory for the underdogs) might have added an extra boost to the fortunes of Brentford, but this aspect is separating, so does not signify.
The Moon, whose applying aspects often describe the key events of the match, makes only one aspect of significance, a sextile to the Sun. This is favourable for the favourites. The Moon must travel just beyond the 5-degree orb considered most reliable in a 90-minute football match, suggesting that an advantage or opportunity is likely to occur in the latter stages of the game, or possibly even in extra time, which Nottingham Forest may be able to turn to their advantage.
The only other testimony of significance is the applying opposition to the Part of Fortune from her dispositor, Jupiter. This testimony benefits Brentford, but the aspect is also just beyond the 5-degree orb, so may not be entirely reliable. It nevertheless merits consideration.
So, we have two strong testimonies in this chart; one from the Moon favouring Nottingham Forest, and the other involving the Part of Fortune which favours Brentford. It seems likely that Brentford will play well, but that Nottingham Forest should be alert to an opportunity which presents itself during the latter stages of the game, which could give them the final advantage.
