In-form Aston Villa will be hoping to maintain their excellent form in the Premier League this weekend when they make the trip to Brentford. The hosts will also be looking for a positive performance after suffering defeats in each of their previous two matches.
Premier League Preview
It is getting harder to ignore the clear argument that Aston Villa are in the race for the Premier League title this term. Unai Emery’s side has been one of the standout sides in the division this term, and they could potentially end the round at the summit if they are able to record maximum points this weekend and other results go their way.
Villa have built momentum over the last week or so after recording excellent home wins against Man City and Arsenal. They kept clean sheets in both of those fixtures, and they now sit just two points off the top of the table. The West Midlands giants were very professional last weekend, with their winner against Arsenal being netted inside the opening half by John McGinn. However, their away record may be a concern coming into this fixture.
Brentford will have the home advantage this week, as they bid to get back on track after suffering defeats in four of their last five. The Bees remain eleventh in the standings, but they have recorded just one win over the recent period of bad form. But, a return to winning ways could see them end the round sitting tenth.
Brentford will certainly need to perform better than they have in recent matches, as they have suffered defeats in each of their previous two. They were extremely disappointing in their previous match, being edged out on the road by Sheffield United.
Brentford vs Aston Villa Head to Head
Brentford have a fine record against Villa. They have won four of the previous eleven clashes between the sides, with the West Midlands side landing just a single win. However, six of the previous encounters have ended in draws, including this exact fixture last term.
Brentford vs Aston Villa Prediction
It could be challenging to overlook Brentford’s fine record against Villa in the previous meetings between the sides. Therefore, we wouldn’t be surprised to see this clash on Sunday end in a draw to damage the Villa’s title chances.
